Established in 2012, Architectural Metals Australia (AMA), is extending material design freedom across Australia and New Zealand. AMA import Italian sheet metal designed specifically for architectural applications. At AMA, we offer scope for individuality.
This is AMA
The past 15 years has seen European style cladding and roofing become increasingly popular across Australia and New Zealand. This surge has motivated material suppliers to evolve, ensuring there are specification options, capable of matching architectural trends.
AMA is the brainchild of Victorian based rainwater goods manufacturer, Bayside Flashing & Ventilations Pty Ltd. and sister company, Metal Cladding Systems Pty Ltd. Towards the end of 2011, leadership teams from both businesses began to pool 30 plus years’ of experience. They researched what their local roofing and cladding industry was lacking, to identify potential opportunities to better contribute.
After analysing their own experiences, speaking with peers, installers, builders and design professionals, they discovered quality products were abundant, but material diversity and reliable onshore stock, was not.
Today AMA is a rapidly expanding distribution business. By importing Italian materials, we are able to offer metal intentionally designed for European style cladding and roofing profiles. Most commonly Vestis and zintek® are specified and folded for standing seam, interlocking, nailstrip and flatlock systems. Vestis and zintek® have also been applied on custom artistic features and metal work projects.
Our strategic partnerships with key Italian material suppliers, and a trusted local customer network, allows us to offer supported, informed and relevant service – in addition to outstanding aluminium and zinc coils.

Eye catching, unique, like nothing seen before – that’s AMA.
Offering nine pre-painted aluminium products and one zinc, at AMA we provide solutions for those who seek individuality.
zintek® zinc was AMA’s first product. Its unique etched surface, set an aesthetic and quality precedent for future material selection. The AMA leadership team identified with Zintek Srl’s high regard for innovation and continual improvement. In 2012, we forged an official distribution partnership with Zintek Srl.
Zinc offers an incredible natural aesthetic. zintek® is made in Italy, exclusively by Zintek Srl, and is a flexible material, suitable for multiple cladding and roofing profiles.
Vestis One, from Mazzonetto Spa, offers two copper look, pre-painted aluminium finishes; Vestis Copper and Vestis Aged Copper. Both finishes simulate natural copper aesthetic; capturing and mimicking stages of the material’s ageing process.
In partnership with Mazzonetto Spa, we collaborated to bring Black Graphite to market, extending the Vestis One range. The past twelve months have seen Black Graphite grow to be the most popular Vestis swatch, and one of Australia’s most popular cladding materials.
In August, 2019, our Vestis One collection grew again with the announcement that we would permanently stock Pure White, Metropolis/White Silver and Pro Range Ash Grey Vestis.
Vestis Nebula is an exciting development in pre-painted aluminium. Nebula Storm, Nebula Midnight and Nebula Luna, posses 3D qualities; evoking spectacular material depth and texture.
Our collection is always growing. If there’s a colour or aesthetic you require, contact us to discuss custom colour production. Please note: All Zintek® zinc is currently available as a special order item only. International lead times apply.
Working with Aluminium and Zinc
Zinc is a natural but durable material
Pre-painted aluminium offers a reproducible surface finish
Aluminium offers an extensive colour palette
Vestis aluminium at H44, is the perfect hardness for cladding and roofing profiles
Zinc and aluminium are low maintenance
Zinc has an expected life span of more than 60 years, reducing the need to re-paint or replace
Vestis aluminium offers warranties up to 40 years, minimising the need to re-paint or replace
Multiple thicknesses in both materials allows application flexibility
