DECO Australia’s leading range of timber-look aluminium battens has added the final touch of mid-century modern design to Oak and Orange’s newest project, Palm Springs Retreat in rural New South Wales.

Low maintenance and easy living are at the forefront of good design for designers Heather and Sarah from Oak and Orange. When it came to their new Palm Springs Retreat project, set on 25 acres, the facade had to incorporate highly durable products that complemented its mid-century modern features.

The superbly designed home features 23 DecoBattens finished in DECO’s award-winning timber-look powdercoating, DecoWood, to create an impressive modern design statement. 

The striking vertical DecoBatten wall expands across the left side of the house, creating a contemporary showcase that accentuates the home’s Palm Springs style. Finished in natural Snow Gum from the Australian Native range by DecoWood, the battens create a relaxed atmosphere of warmth and elegance. 

DecoWood’s marine-grade and UV-resistant powdercoating make it a suitable finish for external facade applications, and the low-maintenance nature of the product means that it is perfect for busy households.

“With a north-facing facade in the west of Sydney, we needed building materials that could cope with the scorching hot summer sun. Finding these DecoWood battens was like hitting the jackpot,” said Heather and Sarah from Oak and Orange.

DecoBatten is 100% solid aluminium and certified non-combustible, making it bushfire safe and a suitable timber alternative for those living in bushfire prone areas.
