Powder-on-Powder Coating & Authentic Wood Grain Finishes – Processes, Performance and Specification Considerations

In today’s session ‘Powder-on-Powder Coating & Authentic Wood Grain Finishes’, we take a look at the use or aluminium surface finishings in both external and internal applications. Noting their attractions, and in particular their capacity to replicate the look and appeal of timber, our speakers will identify the various options of this type on the […]

‘Specifying colour in Architecture: How materials, lighting and spatial context shape perception’ takes a practical, performance-based look at how colour is specified in architectural environments. We will examine the perceptual, material and contextual factors that influence colour selection and unpack how lighting conditions, surface properties and spatial relationships affect how colour is experienced. By the […]

Secure facilities designed specifically to house IT infrastructure (including servers, data storage drives, and networking equipment), data centres are becoming familiar sights across our urban landscapes. In fact, thanks largely to the AI boom, it is estimated that by 2030 USD1.85 trillion will be spent on the construction of data centres globally. Meanwhile, over the […]

There are several factors that specifiers should consider when choosing ceiling grid systems. Beyond their function – as frameworks with which to suspend panels or tiles and conceal wiring, pipes and so on, in commercial applications – they should be visually appealing. On top of this, ceiling grid systems should perform well in terms of […]

The importance of acoustics in educational settings cannot be overstated. Beyond making it difficult for students to hear their teachers, the negative impacts of poor classroom acoustics can be significant. From the students’ point of view, these include effects on cognitive functioning as well as an increase in behavioural problems, which in turn, have negative […]

The term ‘clean room’ refers to spaces – such as science laboratories, data centres, food manufacturing facilities, healthcare settings, pharmaceutical manufacturing plants, and so on – in which, for a variety of reasons, contamination control and ensuring the absence of airborne particles is critically important. Across Australia and New Zealand, the design, construction, and maintenance […]
