Merbau Aluminium Facade Systems

The Merbau woodgrain finish on woodgrain aluminium facade systems: warm reddish-brown with darker flecks - the warmth of timber, none of the upkeep.

Merbau is a familiar decking and screening timber - warm reddish-brown with darker flecks. On woodgrain aluminium facade systems, that grain is sublimated into a baked architectural powder coat over marine-grade aluminium, so you get the look of Merbau timber with none of the oiling, warping, splitting or rot.

As a facade system, this finish becomes a whole-building skin - board cladding, batten blades and soffits coordinated in one grain - so the timber look reads at scale while the non-combustible substrate keeps the external wall on the right side of the NCC.

The look homeowners already know from decking and screens, with none of the bleeding tannins or annual oiling. As aluminium facade systems, it carries that character while staying non-combustible, UV-stable and dimensionally stable - the practical way to keep a Merbau look on a project that has to last.

Where Merbau works best as facades

The Merbau finish suits screens, fences and outdoor living areas. As facades specifically, it is well placed on:

Multi-residential and apartment facades
Commercial and retail buildings
