Façades

An elevation is read from the street, in every light.

Clay, stone veneer, timber and fluted panels for elevations, entrances and compound walls.

Also see Clay wall cladding for flexible clay finishes.

Material guide

Choosing a façade

People see an elevation from the street and from the gate, in morning and evening light. The cladding you choose is the first thing they notice when they arrive.

The façade range

Stone veneer
Thin sheets of real stone for entrances and elevations.
Clay stone finish, clay textures and flexible brick
Flexible clay-based finishes in stone, textured and brick looks.
Polyclay cladding and slim tiles
Clay-look panels and slim tiles for compound walls and lobbies.
PU stone panels
Stone-look panels with deep relief for elevations and boundary walls.
3D stone panels
Sculpted panels that add shadow and relief.
Exterior fluted panels
Wood-grain WPC panels with deep vertical grooves.
Exterior timber tubes
Timber-look tubes for screens, pergolas and sunshades.
Natural wood cladding
Real timber cladding for façades and outdoor rooms.

How to choose

Look at the elevation as a whole. Stone and clay look solid and heavy; timber and fluted panels add wood tones and vertical lines; tubes and screens filter light and give privacy. Many good façades combine two: a stone base with timber above, or clay walls with a timber-tube screen.

Think about how the material looks from across the street and at arm's length. Bring the elevation drawing or a photo of the building to the Experience Centre in Choolai, and compare full panels side by side.
