Introduce texture and dimension
Textures, lines and shadows can bring architecture to life, adding dimensions and visual intrigue as the light changes throughout the day. UniCote® LUX is available in a variety of stunning patterns which make it easy to introduce different textures and visual dimensions in your design.
UniCote® LUX works for bold design statements or as a complimentary addition to more neutral building materials and design finishes. UniCote® LUX is best suited to add maximum street appeal to the facade of your home or project and combines well with wall, garage door and feature installations.
Incorporate your environment
Taking design inspiration from nature UniCote® LUX offers a range of Wood, Corten and Stone finishes to blend your building seamlessly with its surrounding environment.
Our wood range is inspired by the warm and textured patterns offered by wood. Natural materials capture the best parts of our external environment and bring them to life in bespoke construction pieces. Our Corten range is inspired by one of the oldest metals in human history, copper. The natural material enhances the distribution of light to expose Corten’s exquisite colour and lustre. Our Stone range is inspired by the raw beauty of nature’s aggregates and mineral materials.
