Black metal cladding – Melbourne’s most popular facade solution.
Timeless charm and effortless style make black coloured cladding panels hard to go past.
When it comes to black metal cladding systems, did you know there are multiple material options to select from? The popularity of black cladding panels means multiple material producers now offer dark palette products, suitable for roof and wall applications. The increase in quality black material availability means greater specification flexibility. Every project has different requirements, no one material will suit every development’s location, budget, system requirements and aesthetic direction. The option of black aluminium, steel or titanium zinc, means there is now more opportunity than ever for designers to integrate black sheet metal systems into their facade concepts.
Let’s take a closer look at the black metal cladding materials on offer from Metal Cladding Systems.
