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 DETAILING
External Detailing with Decolite Profiles
The One and Only Hotel project in the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront in Cape Town, made extensive use of Decolite for the external detailing. The Sun International flagship in the V and A Waterfront, Cape Town is a well-known landmark and tourist destination and as such had to reflect its reputation in the architecture.
Decolite lightweight profiles were designed to replace concrete elements intended for the external detailing. The elevations were enhanced by making use of Decolite custom made profiles to simulate the non-structural requirements of the concrete elements for such elements as the window header boxes and large window sills.
Flexibility in Design with Decolite
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 elements on the external facade were coated to simulate concrete visually.
External detailing to facades
The external detailing on the project required complete freedom in design, where panel sizes and limited radii would not infringe on the overall aesthetics.
