Leading manufacturer of aluminium building products and finishes DECO Australia has opened its brand-new display centre – the DECO Innovation Centre.
Designed by the acclaimed architecture firm Clarke Hopkins Clarke, the showstopping display centre is a captivating space that is set to offer inspiration to all who visit. An informative and interactive space for architects, builders and homeowners alike, the centre allows visitors to immerse themselves in creative designs that all feature DECO’s wide range of Australian-made and fire-safe building products and finishes, including its popular DecoWood timber-look finish.
Lead architect and Clarke Hopkins Clarke partner Jordan Curran said the company wanted to create a show-stopping space that pushed the boundaries of showroom design and highlighted the versatility of DECO Australia’s wide range of products.
“From the anodized chevron feature facade to the architectural shade sails and grand canopy entrance, we wanted to highlight that with some imaginative design, DECO’s innovative products and finishes are not just for everyday projects, but can be used to create architectural masterpieces,” said Mr Curran.
Throughout the centre, visitors can experience DECO’s extensive product range in full-scale and real-life applications. The outside terrace showcases DECO’s certified non-combustible DecoClad cladding profiles, the FZ bushfire-rated and slip-resistant DecoDeck and DecoSlat fencing and screening. Inside the showroom, the full-scale DecoBatten wall showcases the ingenious QuickClick two-piece batten system and its variety of batten sizes and shapes. Visitors will also be able to see the unique DecoFloor timber-look aluminium floorboards, the ultimate kitchen splashback DecoSplash and the brand-new DecoCeiling panel system.
DECO founder and director Ross Doonan said the Innovation Centre offers an enhanced customer buying experience like no other.
“The DECO Innovation Centre allows customers to see our products and finishes full-size and in the context of a building,” he said. “This allows them to visualize how our products will look on their project. Add to that the interactive experience of being able to touch and feel our products and see the range of finishes available; they will be able to develop creative concepts they had never even dreamed of before.”
With an extensive range of creative and unique displays, the DECO Innovation Centre will serve as an inspirational space for anyone designing, building or renovating their home or commercial property. DECO’s expert team is on hand to assist visitors with their projects and help them bring their dream designs to life. A wide selection of free samples are also available.
