Something big has landed. Say “hello” to Vestis Black Graphite; the cladding and roofing game changer.

Vestis is our range of imported Italian pre-painted aluminium. The AMA collection offers Australian and New Zealand architects, builders, manufacturers and installers, unique metal finishes, unlike anything else in our market. Black Graphite launched towards the end of 2015. The past nine months has seen an incredible shift in specifications and end users product selection. Black Graphite is triumphing by offering a smooth matte black finish. Where dark zinc was dominant, Vestis’ black aluminium now stands proud as a legitimate alternative.

Vestis Black Graphite offers the look of black titanium zinc, but with the advantages of coated aluminium. Along with Italian design prestige, our material also offers the following project benefits:

H41 material hardness for easier manufacturing and installation.
Artificial coil-coating paint processes for colour consistency. This is particularly helpful when working on large developments with multiple construction phases
A true black hue
Depending on the installation complexity, a more cost effective option, compared to some zincs
40 year anti-corrosion product warranty*
100 per cent recyclable
UV resistant
A spectacular matte facade finish, sure to impress

Price Street Townhouses

Price Street townhouses, perfect suburban sophistication.

There’s a certain level of truth to the old saying, “black is the new black”. Dark and mysterious, black never goes out of fashion – making it an ideal architectural shade.

Price Street, by David Watson Architects, uses Architectural Metals Australia’s (AMA) Vestis Black Graphite, in a random pattern, interlocking cladding system. Black Graphite offers projects a durable, matte finish, unlike any other coated cladding material available in Australia and New Zealand. Flexible and easy to work with, Vestis Black Graphite has fast become a favourite among specifiers and installers.

AMA’s leadership team worked with Mazzonetto Spa to bring Black Graphite to market. 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.

On Price Street, Black Graphite effectively contrasts the rendered facade, and compliments the dark coloured horizontal Venetian blinds. The random pattern interlocking system, evokes a sense of fun linear excitement, while also pulling focus to the feature garage doors.

Clyde Street House, eye catching angles and beautiful material contrast.

Clyde Street features Architectural Metals Australia’s (AMA) Vestis Black Graphite, in a horizontal standing seam profile. Black Graphite brings an interesting layer to the home’s design. It compliments and contrasts other facade materials, such as rendered brick, timber and stone. The soft matte finish of Vestis pre-painted aluminium becomes increasingly noticeable in this horizontal application.

Choosing to specify and install Vestis Black Graphite instantly provides projects with sophistication and architectural prestige. Black Graphite offers a similar aesthetic to black zinc, making it an ideal substitute when the look of dark zinc is required but the installer, architect or end user is looking for a material that’s easier to handle and more competitively priced. We launched Black Graphite in 2015, since then it has quickly become a favourite cladding and roofing material.
