Architectural Cladding Projects by Architectural Panel Systems

This was our very first project we took on and successfully completed using our brand new KT-45 System.

The KT-45 Panel has a distinct, 45mm high rib as opposed to a typical Standing Seam profile for example which is generally a much shallower 25mm high rib.

The KT-45 is suitable for use with Roofing, Soffits, Wall Cladding & Facades.

The selection to use the KT-45 Panel on this project was made much easier due to the huge benefit of this Roofing System not requiring a continuous structural substrate, such as 19mm Plywood, which would commonly be used on almost all raised seam profiles, including the popular Standing Seam & Nail Strip profiles. The system all goes together via a male & female rib, that snaps & locks in position, along with a concealed clip, which hides all fixings and doesn’t require any seam closing tools or additional labour.

This eliminates a lot of labour, cost, time, weight and more, making the KT-45 a very beneficial and flexible use product.

Upon completion of the job, the overall finish was as close as possible to perfect!

It’s created a real feature and talking point around the town.

We couldn’t be happier with the way it come up and proud of the detail that went into every single panel individually.

The job is further enhanced aesthetically because of the steep pitched roof on the road side of the home, it’s a roof that physically cannot be missed when driving by.

This project in Pescott St, Newtown had a mix of Aluminium & VM Zinc in 3 different finishes.

Using our Interlocking Panel system, this Architectural Cladding has turned this home into a head turning, eye catching piece of architecture.

The detail in the panels allows us to make a one piece panel, completely mitred with no visible fixings or flashing at the top and bottom of the panels.

Our custom made machining tool mitres these panels, allowing for a millimetre perfect, complete wrap around at the parapet and soffit, where the express join continues to flow seamlessly throughout the whole job.

This is a project we are asked about over and over again.

Architectural Panel Systems were involved with the design and manufacture of the 3.0mm Corten weathering steel Cassette Panels installed on the newly built Western Heights College in Geelong. The project consisted of a large freestanding feature all, and 2 blade walls, of which the design intent required angled walls and staggered panels.

To achieve this finish took a lot of work, careful planning and man hours in design and manufacture to complete successfully.

These beautiful, rustic and modern looking walls add a touch of class and a real focal point to this project, with all walls and panels visible from the busy road the school is located on.

Architectural Panel Systems were called upon to provide a solution for a modern outdoor pool decking area which would be maintenance free and perform well in the harsh atmosphere located around a chlorinated in ground pool.

Our solution;

For the feature screening, we designed a lasercut screen fabricated from 3.0mm Corten, with a unique Sun pattern to keep the outdoor pool theme going, and decided to clad the underside of the pool deck in our Timbaclad Ultra system, using a high performance aluminium base.

We made allowances in the installed panels to lasercut holes for the client to suit the downlights for a clean finish.

A project completed at 13 Allen St, Lorne required a feature wall on the front Façade of the building.

This home in the luxury Sands Estate, Torquay required a cladding system to breakup the composite panel and to add a feature to the home. Standing Seam was the ideal choice and system for this project. To compliment the façade, it was fabricated from Colorbond Ultra steel due to its proximity to the water and extreme coastal environment.

This modern style standing seam facade in VM Zinc Anthra, blended with the rustic Corten letterbox, garden and retaining wall brings forth a unique finish to this project. With no visible cappings on the building parapets, the Standing Seam is designed to look as though it immediately terminates at the top of the panels. This provides a very clean and neat finish to any project.

These luxury units required a modern and unique system and colour, which had to remain cost effective within a budget. The Nail Strip system, along with the Metallic Facade finish was able to meet the needs of all these requirements. The project also involved laser-cut screens/balcony balustrading as an added feature.

The modern style standing seam roof in Colorbond Ironstone, blended with the old style home has created a unique finish to this project, modernising the roof, but keeping the older heritage style look to the home still intact. This luxury home also required a feature facade throughout the entry of the home at the front entrance. Interlocking panel was the system of choice, in a cost-effective Colorbond Night Sky finish.

The project called for a cost effective cladding option due to the large amount of area required to be covered. With full access and high visibility of the cladding from the balconies of the fifth story suites, a neat, clean, visually appealing system was required, with no visible fixings around doors, windows, angled walls and flashing. APS Rib Cladding with its concealed fixing system was an ideal choice for this project.

The project involved VM Zinc standing seam cladding to walls, fascias, soffits and roof.

Due to the close proximity of the ocean, zinc was chosen as the most suitable material for its longevity while also providing a unique modern look.

• Profile: Standing Seam
• Material: VM Zinc

Architectural Panel Systems met with the architects to discuss suitable, cost effective architectural cladding options to help complete the project. Standing seam was chosen for cladding the walls and soffits. The client was after a unique, clean finished at the top of the cladding with the special request of no capping. As a result each panel had to be scalloped and waterproofed individually to provide the modern and clean look.

Located close to the water and breaking surf, copper was the obvious choice of metal for its durability. Flat Lock Panel with horizontal express joins to break up the facade and to suit the look of the property was chosen.

Upon completion of the project, the architect expressed how happy they were with the product, workmanship and tradesmen. Architectural Panel Systems are currently in talks with the architect for future projects involving more copper cladding.

This project, located in the prestigious city of Brighton required a long lasting and durable product which would also provide a WOW factor and compliment the multimillion dollar property.

The cladding of the balconies and the soffits on this project in our exclusive Light Red Copper was a success and left the clients very pleased with the outcome.

Being the first job of its kind in Australia, Architectural Panel Systems were relied upon to ensure all materials and products were manufactured and delivered on time and the final result was reward far out weighing the previously anticipated risk.
