The durable solution for the toughest conditions

Durability

Durability plays a key role in decision making as part of the building design and construction process more than ever before. Through its steel building product research and development, BlueScope Buildings has demonstrated its commitment to durability. That commitment continues with the PERMALITE® range.

All PERMALITE® cladding profiles, purlins and flashings are produced entirely from marine grade aluminium, an alloy specifically developed for its resistance to corrosion in marine or industrial environments. They provide exceptional durability in the toughest building environments and can be recycled at the end of their long working life.

Where corrosion protection is paramount, such as in chemical plants or industrial applications where sulphates, chlorides or other pollutants are likely to come in contact with the metal, PERMALITE® cladding delivers exceptional results.

Lightweight

PERMALITE® products weigh as little as one third as much as their steel equivalents. Figure PERMALITE® building solutions into your design calculations to take maximum advantage of the positive impact their weight saving ability can have on structural element design.

The light weight of PERMALITE® cladding or purlins also delivers significant material handling advantages, resulting in reduced cranage costs and potentially lower labour requirements for manual handling by installers.

Solar Reflectivity

Solar reflectivity and thermal performance provide a powerful argument for PERMALITE® cladding's efficiency credentials. To broaden design options, PERMALITE® cladding and can be supplied unpainted or in reflective prepainted colours.
