There’s a growing trend in the design and construction of public buildings to specify steel cladding for the considerable benefits it brings to the structure. Steel’s visual appeal, low maintenance qualities, ease of installation and warranty advantages, all make it an increasingly popular choice. Case in point being the new Maitland Hospital at Metford.

Owner/builder Mick Heuchan’s plans to build his own home were ambitious from the start. But then, this house had been taking shape in his head for more than a decade.

Nestled high in the picturesque Adelaide Hills is the recently redeveloped UKARIA Cultural Centre by Anton Johnson Architect, a multi-purpose function centre that’s full of contrast and juxtaposition.

As part of a detailed preventative maintenance schedule, Cairns Central Shopping Centre is currently in the midst of a re-roofing program, which is seeing 40,000m² of KLIP-LOK 700 HI-STRENGTH® cladding fitted to the centre over two years.

Following its successful introduction in 2018, the Lysaght Inspirations Design Awards return this year to celebrate outstanding Australian architectural work that incorporates LYSAGHT® steel building products.
