Shaping Exteriors with the LYSAGHT ZENITH® range
Marrying Style with Substance in Architectural Exteriors
When it comes to creating a striking architectural statement, the choice of materials plays a pivotal role. This is a sentiment echoed by Alisa and Lysandra Fraser, the renowned Design Duo, in their recent project where they chose the LYSAGHT ZENITH® range, in particular the ENSEAM® profile, for its ability to blend quality with style seamlessly.
"We wanted the facade to be striking, and we love the long clean lines of the ENSEAM® product," Alisa explains. This choice highlights a critical aspect of architectural design: selecting materials that not only look good but also serve the specific needs of a structure.
The Design Duo's decision to use the LYSAGHT ZENITH® range was influenced by more than just its visual appeal. "We are located a stone's throw away from the beach, so we needed a product that could withstand the environmental conditions of the salt air," says Lysandra, underscoring the importance of choosing materials that are not only visually appealing but also durable and suited to the specific conditions of the site.
The LYSAGHT ZENITH® range in the ENSEAM®, made with a blend of aluminium, zinc, and magnesium alloy-coated ZINCALUME® and COLORBOND® steel, featuring Activate® technology, offers the corrosion resistance essential for coastal environments. Its availability in various finishes and colours provides homeowners and designers the flexibility to tailor their choices to both functional needs and aesthetic preferences.
Furthermore, the variable width options in the LYSAGHT ENSEAM® profile allow for a degree of customisation in design and installation. Whether installed vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, LYSAGHT ENSEAM® cladding adapts to various architectural styles, making it a versatile choice for contemporary designs.
The hidden fixing and sheet lapping details of ENSEAM® cladding contribute to a clean, streamlined appearance, whether used for roofing or walling. This feature aligns perfectly with the Design Duo's vision for their project's facade – a testament to their statement:
"We are thrilled with the end result, and we could not be happier with the ZENITH® range and how it’s totally elevated our facade."
For homeowners embarking on building or renovating their homes, the choice of cladding is crucial. It goes beyond mere aesthetics, encompassing aspects of durability, ease of installation, and suitability for specific environmental conditions. The Design Duo's successful incorporation of LYSAGHT ZENITH® range in their project serves as an inspiring example of how selecting the right materials can transform a building's facade into a statement of style and resilience.
Incorporating products like the LYSAGHT ZENITH® range into your architectural project not only promises a striking visual appeal but also ensures longevity and performance, making it a wise choice for any modern building or renovation endeavour.
