Products
BlueScope supplied a range Permalite® products including sheeting and structural purlins. The sheeting was distinctively pre-painted in the bold colours of Silver Coin™ and Bronze Olive in the profiles of Permalite LT7® and V-Rib®.
Permalite® aluminium purlins & girts were also used on the structure this assisted in the design brief for minimum weight and maximise component fit.
The Permalite® product ensures ongoing maintenance free performance in the aggressive industrial/marine environment.
