There’s a growing trend in the design and construction of public buildings to specify steel cladding for the considerable benefits it brings to the structure. Steel’s visual appeal, low maintenance qualities, ease of installation and warranty advantages, all make it an increasingly popular choice. Case in point being the new Maitland Hospital at Metford.

It’s not often that architects need to consider what a building will look like from above.

The new COLORBOND® Metallic steel range introduces six new colours to the updated Colour chart and an innovative paint technology that boosts its signature lustre effect.
