A well-planned deck
Turning your traditional patio or verandah into an exciting entertainment space is the perfect way to extend your indoor living space into the outdoors. You’ll want to ensure any materials you use are hard-wearing to stand up against repeated use and the elements (from heavy rain to harsh sunshine), and the renovation itself shouldn’t break the bank. Choosing a product like HardieDeck™ means you get all the elegance of a sleek and sturdy deck without the drawbacks of traditional timber. Made from James Hardie’s™ premium fibre cement, the HardieDeck is a stylish addition to any outdoor space. It works just as well for your exterior dining area as it does around the edges of your pool. Outdoor kitchen for entertaining There’s nothing quite like firing up the barbie and inviting friends and family over for a meal out in the sunshine. A kitchen outside is a great way to use your outdoor space, but you need to ensure the materials around it will be able to withstand the hot summer days and rainy weather, and won’t get stained from spills and dropped food. Linea Weatherboard is the ideal choice for an outdoor kitchen – not only is it modern, durable and easy to install, but it’s resistant to shrinking, swelling and cracking. One last thing to remember for any outdoor kitchen: if you plan to install a barbecue on your deck, make sure the flooring is heat resistant and strong enough to support the extra weight of large appliances.

Award winning Plaza achieves fire rating and wood look with printed ExoTec façade panel

The Sunshine Plaza shopping centre in the heart of Maroochydore, Queensland, welcomes visitors in to experience a cultural celebration of the local community. Central to this, is the Riverwalk Dining area. The $440 million dollar redevelopment lead by Lendlease saw Sunshine Plaza’s retail space expand by 35,000 square meters, making it the first super-regional classified shopping centre in the region.
The Architect, the Buchan Group was focused on achieving a build compliant with Group 1 fire ratings. Achieving this, without compromising superior design, was enabled by the products utilised in the redevelopment. Given the Sunshine Plaza is a hub of community art and history, adding character to the centre was also key.
James Hardie <a href="https://www.jameshardie.com.au/productrange/categories/cladding/exotec-panel-&-system">ExoTec™ Facade Panel and System</a> was used to meet the brief of a Group 1 fire rated material. The technique of large format digital printing onto the panels enabled the architect’s vision to be realised. <a href="https://gen-eco.com.au/">Gen-Eco’s</a> spotted gum digital print was selected as a design feature, directly printed onto the ExoTec Panels. This technological advancement of large format printing enables substantial constructions like the Sunshine Plaza to appeal to innovative design features, such as a wood look, with the benefits of fibre cement panels.
This highly functional solution abided by Group 1 fire ratings, whilst maximising creativity within the design of the Riverwalk.
James Hardie ExoTec Panel and System is a deemed-to-satisfy, cladding system suitable for non-combustible construction, making it the obvious choice for this project. The 9mm or 12mm thick panels are sealed on all sides, reducing panel expansion. ExoTec Panel and System can be factory finished, painted on-site, or digitally printed, as it was here.
The wood look of the spotted gum digital print on the ExoTec Panels formed an aesthetically pleasing design feature on the soffit lining. ExoTec Panel and System is specifically designed for use on low rise, high rise, and commercial building facades, fascia’s and soffits, as it is high impact resistant and durable. The compressed fibre cement panels that work with a top hat system allow for the Boardwalks geometric spotted gum design.
The redevelopment of the Sunshine Plaza was completed in March 2019, and saw this community hub come to life, thanks to the Gen-Eco large format digital printing on James Hardie ExoTec Panels.

Project designers <a href="https://www.chc.com.au/">Clarke Hopkins Clarke </a>reflect the individuality of each school in the buildings’ designs while meeting ESD requirements and reducing costs.
Two schools from the collective have been awarded for their excellence in sustainable design.
James Hardie’s <a href="http://www.jameshardie.com.au/products/commercial-facades/exotec-facade-panel-and-fixing-system/">ExoTec™ Facade Panel and Fixing System</a> was utilised to create a vibrant and distinct look for each school while tying them together as a cohesive collective.
The adaptable, durable material gave builders the ability to control the placement of panels to create patterning and break up facades to create visual interest in a variety of bright colours to stimulate young minds and bring the schools together visually.
Meeting the needs of communities based across Victoria’s metropolitan and regional areas was a significant undertaking but with <a href="http://www.jameshardie.com.au/products/commercial-facades/exotec-facade-panel-and-fixing-system/">ExoTec™ cladding</a> being a prefabricated product that can be painted off site it proved to be the perfect choice to execute a unique visual brief while meeting safety and sustainability requirements.
