The allure of curved shapes and structures in design is undeniable.
The graceful flow of curves adds an element of organic beauty, creating a sense of fluidity that stands in contrast to the rigidity of straight lines. It’s an aesthetic that architects, designers and builders are increasingly drawn to … and for good reason.
The interplay of light and shadow on curved surfaces, the harmonious integration with the natural environment, and the sheer elegance of such designs have made curves a top trend in contemporary design.
Once deemed too complex or costly, curves have become a symbol of innovation and creativity in the construction industry. The freedom to mould and shape spaces with curves, whether in residential or commercial projects, is a trend that continues to gain momentum. It’s a trend that speaks to our desire for spaces that transcend the ordinary and evoke a sense of wonder.
As we explore the possibilities of curved designs, the role of materials in bringing these visions to life cannot be underestimated. This is where Weathertex enters the stage, offering a solution that seamlessly aligns with the curved revolution. Crafted from 100 per cent natural materials, Weathertex cladding provides the perfect canvas for curved designs. Its flexibility and versatility are assets that specifiers and builders can leverage to create stunning curved facades and structures. And all Weathertex products come with an industry-leading warranty of up to 25 years against rotting, cracking or splitting. When installed horizontally with a minimum radius of 2500mm, Weathertex Selflok weatherboards are fully warranted to help you achieve the smooth, curved look that’s in high demand.
For those who favour a vertical linear approach, Weathergroove architectural panels are the perfect choice. These are fully warranted when installed with a minimum radius of 7000mm, providing endless design possibilities. Talk to Weathertex if your vision calls for a more tightly curved design.
Weathergroove panels can be ripped down and segmented to accommodate a curve with a minimum radius of 1200mm. While this particular solution may fall outside the standard Weathertex warranty, it still meets Australian building code requirements, making it a viable option for those who dare to push the boundaries of design.
While Weathertex cladding opens the door to incredible design flexibility, the successful execution of curved designs often calls for expert guidance. Each project is unique, and the advice of an expert builder is invaluable in achieving your desired outcome. Also, the Weathertex technical team is always ready to assist. With Weathertex cladding, your vision of curved perfection can become a reality.
