The facade of the Telstra Data Exchange building in Penrith was upgraded by replacing the dated pebblecrete exterior to increase its aesthetic appeal.

Mitsubishi ALPOLIC NC/A1 DtS compliant non-combustible cladding in Light Bronze Metallic, Pale Copper Metallic, and Dark Grey Metallic finishes, measuring about 1,400m² was used to reclad and modernise the facade.

ALPOLIC NC/A1 was chosen for the recladding project for its wide range of standard and custom colour options as well as its superior flatness and exceptional durability. Another benefit is its unmatched 20-year full cover manufacturer’s warranty, which includes materials, labour and rectification costs. It requires no cleaning to maintain the warranty, which is a huge cost saving to the building owners. 

This project was one of several Telstra Data Exchange recladding projects at sites that included Blacktown and Redfern in NSW, Exhibition St in VIC, and Launceston in TAS. Chatswood and Parramatta in NSW, and Waymouth and Flinders St in SA will be completed soon.
