Decolite Curved Bulkheads
Curved Bulkheads with Decolite
8 Merchant Place in Sandton, has recently undergone a major revamp, which included curved bulkheads by Decolite. The Decolite lightweight curved bulkheads were to replace the existing aluminium cladding which were previously formed the ceiling to the undercover walkways. The renovation project for RMB, was overseen by Boogertman and Partners Architects, Johannesburg, while Metrum where responsible for project management and Trencon Construction were main contractor.
Custom Made curved bulkheads and ceiling
The Decolite curved bulkheads were formed from high density EPS, and then coated with our propriety polymer system. The final result was an extremely hard wearing glossy curved element. Due to the fact that there are no design limitations with Decolite, the architect was able to specify continuous rolling curves to enhance the aesthetic of the externa walkways linking the various buildings within the complex.
Hard wearing and appealing
The hard-wearing external casing on the Decolite profiles is completely weather proof and impervious to water ingress. The proprietary casing completely encases the profile, allowing for longevity of product. Decolite profiles have a been manufactured and installed for a period of over 19 years, not only in South Africa, but in to sub-Saharan Africa as well. We have a long history of successful projects with external ceilings and bulkheads, including Monte Circle
Lightweight Decolite Ceilings
We have completed many projects with Decolite Window surrounds and window shading where the original detail asked for concrete. Due to Decolite’s lightweight nature, we are able to install any element with the minimum of fuss. The installation of the window shading elements is quick and requires no cranage, and the installation may done from a mobile scaffold or cherry picker.
The profiles are installed by inserting threaded bars in to the Decolite at the time of manufacturing. When on site we simple drill in to the substrate, fill with a chemical anchor and insert the threaded bar fitted to the Decolite window shading.
