DECO Australia’s leading range of timber-look aluminium building products have added natural warmth and sophistication to Mosaic Design and OGE Group’s latest award-winning luxury apartment buildings. Solis, their complex located in Kings Beach, Queensland, is a sensational design that reflects the beauty of its Sunshine Coast location.

When choosing products for this design, environmentally sustainable products were a must, as were low-maintenance, hardwearing products that would maintain their appearance in the coastal air and sunlight. DecoClad and DecoBatten, DECO’s solid aluminium architectural cladding and batten products, were desirable choices for the project. Their realistic timber-look appearance adds to the luxury coastal vibe, while their Qualicoat Class 2 marine-grade powdercoatings offer excellent protection against the elements. DecoClad V-Groove, which replicates traditional timber cladding, was positioned on the ceiling, soffit and wall lining of the penthouse apartments, adding a touch of decadence to these exclusive residences.

DecoBatten, DECO’s unique timber-look batten system, provided an attractive pool fence and pergola. These eye-catching designs, created from 200 mm × 50 mm battens, create stunning beachside statement features. DECO’s exclusive “Quick Click” 50 mm × 50 mm battens are also featured on the wall at the entrance of the building, carrying the coastal timber-look theme seamlessly throughout the design.

Made from recyclable aluminium with a VOC-free finish, the DecoClad and DecoBattens featured on the building also reflected Mosaic’s commitment to sustainability. Finished in the soft brown timber tones of DecoWood ‘Natural Spotted Gum,’ the DECO products featured on this project exude effortless, tasteful, contemporary design and embody the relaxed ethos associated with coastal living.
