A showpiece
Stramit Building Products is using a move into new South Australian production facilities to showcase the company’s rollformed products and the aesthetic appeal of sheeting made from Colorbond Metallic steel.
The architect-designed facility is covered entirely in Colorbond Metallic steel from BHP Steel. “There are not too many industrial buildings that use Colorbond Metallic steel and our aim was to create an architecturally-designed structure that would really stand out as a landmark,” says Tony Burrowes, Stramit’s Adelaide branch manager.
Large sections of the front and side walls of the building are clad in Stramit Longspan made from Colorbond Metallic steel in the colour Citi, with a raked façade and contrasting sections of walling in Stramit Monoclad made from Colorbond in the colour Windspray.
Colorbond Metallic steel provides superior aesthetics for showpiece architectural structures. The mica particles of the metallic finish take on different nuances depending upon weather conditions, time of day, lighting conditions and viewing angle.
The new Stramit facility is almost four times larger than the company’s previous Adelaide manufacturing centre, with the capacity to produce the Stramit range of roofing, walling and rainwater products and also structural purlins.
