Project:
Nowra Tafe
Product:
Horizontal Cladding System
Panel Type:
Mist Green Colour Steel internal & external skins bonded to 75mm "SL" grade polystyrene core
Architects Noel Bell Ridley Smith & Partners used PanelTech's Horizontal Cladding system in Colour prepainted steel in the building design to give the Tafe college a slick new look.
Project architect, Robert McNamara said "The building is the first in a major redevelopment of the Nowra Campus aiming to lift the profile of the Illawarra Institute of Technology.
The steel sandwich panels run along the top of the brick masonry wall into the foyer, out the side into a sculptural wall and feature on one side wall of the building." McNamara says "The panels manufactured in Sydney by PanelTech Industries are a technology development which revolutionised insulated building panels design and manufacture about 10 years ago.
Steel sandwich panels consist of a fire retardant polystyrene core bonded between two sheets of steel for great aesthetics and thermal efficiency. The panels have excellent insulation properties and are a very cost effective building system. The end result is a very pleasing one with which the TAFE college and the local community is very happy."
