Vestis Aged Copper Aluminium, coming 2018

Introducing our new 2018 Vestis Collection colour, Aged Copper by Mazzonetto Spa. Aged Copper provides a deeper, earthier appearance to our original Vestis Copper patina surface. This new product will join our stocked range of pre-coated architectural aluminium in March 2018.

It offers the look of aged natural copper and Corten weathering steels, however unlike these materials the surface won’t continue

Stock announcement: Vestis Verde and Vestis Grigio to be retired

Two of our original Vestis colours will move into retirement effective 1 November, 2017. As architectural trends move towards different colour palettes, we have decided to remove Verde and Grigio from our stocked range of Vestis aluminium coils. This decision will allow us to better service building design demands. What does retirement mean? Retiring Verde and Grigio means we will no longer hold stock of these two patina colours in our Melbourne warehouse. The finishes will still be available on request; international lead

Albert Park College

New meets old at Albert Park College Last year Albert Park College’s Port Melbourne campus received a makeover. With Six Degree Architects, the school invested in a state-of-the-art year nine student campus. The development re-purposes The Drill Hall – a heritage listed Port Melbourne landmark, and former Circus Oz headquarters. The design is respectful to the existing architecture, making use of the building’s tremendous open interior spaces, and industrial facade. The architecture manages to balance old and new, keeping traditional elements

Introducing Vestis Nebula

Architectural Metals Australia is proud to introduce a new collection of pre-painted aluminium products. Vestis Nebula Storm, Vestis Nebula Midnight and Vestis Nebula Luna, posses 3D qualities, evoking spectacular material depth and texture.
