In recent years, the topic of recladding has been thrust to the forefront of design consciousness. Whilst the process of replacing a pre-existing cladding is naturally reassuring – revitalising a façade that has begun to deteriorate – it has also become an increasing necessity for many structures. For compliance and insurance purposes, local authorities have refined the focus surrounding exterior façades, stipulating that non-compliant cladding materials must be replaced with a non-combustible façade that meets the strict Australian Standard, AS1530.1. In response to this legislation, HVG Facades offers the option of MondoClad – a considered brand and a high-end solution.
Capturing solid, pre-finished aluminium panels, MondoClad is worthy of its premium status. Each panel utilises a corrosive-resistant and marine-grade alloy, an effective answer to the harsh nature of the Australian climate. CodeMark certification streamlines the building-approval process whilst time-efficiency is further championed through a local supply chain. As an extension of its thorough design, the panels are completely recyclable and can be installed with very little disruption to the operations of a building. Alongside durability, MondoClad recognises aesthetic value, presenting an expansive range of colours, sizes and finishes to complement any design aesthetic, whilst a PVDF architectural coating ensures superior levels of colour retention.
Minimising the risk level attached to completed projects, weatherproof cladding has become an essential aspect of contemporary constructions worldwide. Weatherproof buildings are capable of withstanding the erosive effects of the climate, specifically seen within the harsh Australian landscape; less susceptible to undue dampness and deterioration; and can help in maintaining a healthy interiority. HVG Facades supplies low-maintenance and cost-effective weatherproof cladding in the form of MondoClad as well as ZINTL – an interlocking aluminium system – seeing both products pass the compliance requirements of the NCC 2019 Weatherproofing Verification Methods Volume 2 Amendment 1 and FV1. ZINTL is Australian made and owned, imbuing structures with an elegant and timeless materiality that intentionally endures. With a versatile application and able to be powder coated in solid or wood grain finishes, ZINTL cladding can be applied to residential, commercial, education, sporting and healthcare projects.
As the lens fixed on the construction industry sharpens, HVG Facades does not waver. The brand is committed to the delivery of high-end quality products from well-established brands. An expert in its field, the company can be trusted to provide non-combustible and weatherproof cladding for the level-headed designer.
