Internal Column Cladding
Decolite Columns enhance jewelry stores in the Western Cape
Shimansky Jewellers recently opened several new stores in the Western Cape, and Decolite was appointed to install the internal column cladding, enhancing the deluxe aesthetics of each local.

Columns in Decolite allow for a lightweight solution
Due to the fact that there was minimal space in which to construct the faceted columns, a lightweight solution was required. The material to be used had to offer a solution in which the shapes could be achieved but without large heavy substructures.
Lightweight column cladding
Decolite is a lightweight, hard-wearing material, which can be formed, through wire cutting, to any 3-dimensional profile offering complete ability to conceive new decorative creations without limitations. The seamless internal column cladding was coated to simulate a diamond-coated element.

COLUMN TO BOARDROOM
A feature detail custom made column was to be the focus of the boardroom for this new office suite in the Radisson Blu hotel Gautrain, in Sandton.
Situated opposite the Gautrain, the offices were superbly placed for ease of access and world-class views of Sandton. The main boardroom housed a support column which the designer opted to create a feature detail making use of Decolite lightweight material.
In this case, the chamfers to the column were hand-carved and then sanded to form the final shapes.
The column was then installed on-site, whereafter the external face was coated with metallic paint.
Due to the fact that designing with Decolite allows for complete freedom, any shape or combination of shapes is achievable.

COLUMN CLADDING
External column cladding for the One and Only Hotel
On the One and Only Hotel project in Cape Town, Decolite lightweight profiles were designed to replace concrete elements intended for the external detailing. The Sun International flagship in the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, Cape Town, is a well-known landmark and tourist destination. The elevations were enhanced by making use of Decolite custom made profiles to simulate the non-structural requirements of the concrete sills and columns.
Decolite Columns
The main entrance to the hotel forms the backdrop to the 9m high Decolite column cladding. The custom-made cladding columns, fabricated in 2 halves, allow for definition to the supporting concrete columns.

EXTERNAL COLUMN CLADDING
Decolite Columns enhance development in Illovo boulevard
Illovo Edge, on the exclusive Illovo Boulevard, in Johannesburg, is one of the most prestigious commercial office spaces available in the northern suburbs, where once again Decolite column cladding was installed to enhance the overall aesthetics.
Columns in Decolite allow for a lightweight solution
The design required external lighting to the main entrance walkway dividing buildings one and two. Regent Lighting was called in to supply the light elements, and Decolite was the material of choice when designing the enhancements on the light fittings. The aesthetic required an element a little bolder, and as the steel column internally provided the support for the lights, Decolite was used for the form and finish.
The columns, manufactured in high-density Expanded Polystyrene, allowed for a more dynamic flared base. When specifying Decolite, the flexibility in design allows for customised elements, specifically columns, in this instance, to take on a form of their own.
