Design Duo sisters and former The Block winners Alisa and Lysandra Fraser have unveiled their exterior front facade featuring DecoBatten on their six-part Design Duo: Twin Off series.
The architecturally designed duplex in Adelaide’s seaside Somerton Park hosts the twin’s own homes, passion projects they have wanted to complete for a long time. Reflecting their individual styles throughout each interior, the teams united to create their street-stopping facade.
Featuring light shades of render and natural limestone, the facade is given a modern edge thanks to the new 50 mm × 25 mm DecoBatten cover that offers a lighter-weight solution for facades and garage doors. Finished in the low-maintenance DecoWood Curly Birch finish, the choice was a no-brainer when it came to deciding what product to clad their garage doors in.
“When we were looking what to clad the garage door in, without doubt it had to be DecoWood. And how real does it look. It’s aluminium, but it looks exactly like timber. There’s no maintenance, there’s no warping.” said Alisa.
“Then we’ve used the same material along the fence line,” says Lysandra.
The backyards, however, were a different story. The battle of styles – light versus dark – extended through the interior of the homes and into the twin’s outdoor living spaces, where both also used DecoBatten for their fencing and pergolas.
Alysa opted for a 40 mm × 40 mm DecoBatten in the DecoWood Antique White to provide a six-foot fencing and screening solution along the side of the pool to provide privacy and continue the white theme throughout the pool area. To match her dark aesthetics, Lysandra opted for DecoCoat Matt Black 40 mm × 40 mm DecoBatten to create some features throughout her outdoor entertaining area and the pergola.
Again, the Super Durable Class 2 finishes were the deciding factor, allowing for optimal durability and longevity with minimal maintenance.
