The Genesis Signature prefinished compressed fibre cement facade system is Fairview's latest cutting-edge cladding solution, marking a significant advancement within architectural design. This innovative product line combines contemporary aesthetics with exceptional elegance.
Genesis Signature features six distinct colour collections, each offering a diverse range of pigments, textures and finishes. The range allows architects and designers to elevate their work and create unique and striking designs.
Oasis
Naturally dried pigments with a smooth surface, Oasis by Genesis Signature elevates any design through the expressive nature of each finish and expansive colour palette. The lightly pigmented surface of the boards creates a translucent finish where a light texture is shown and the through-coloured body of the board is exposed.
There are 20 colours in the Oasis range, from dark earthy hues and neutral beige colours to bright bold tones. The deep tones in the range consist of blue hues, brown tones, a range of greys and a black pigment. These deep tones can add a distinct contrast or a cohesive element within a design.
The bold range of colours includes green, orange and red pigments, giving architects the ability to create a unique and striking design. The neutral palette includes an array of white and cream tones that can be used in conjunction with the deep or bold colours or on their own to achieve a minimalist, modern design.
Oasis comes with the opportunity to apply a High Resistance (HR) coating. This factory applied anti-scratch and anti-graffiti HR coating comes with a 20-year warranty and is highly beneficial within public buildings and high traffic areas.
The Oasis range offers a wide variety of opportunities for use within a project. Education institutes can use Oasis' variety of pigments in conjunction with their brand colours to increase brand awareness. Additionally, the HR coating is essential in an educational building design, reducing the need for maintenance in a high traffic environment.
Public libraries are a further example of how the Oasis range can be used to enhance both the experience and functionality of a building. The extensive colour range can be used to create either a comforting and calm environment or a bold and inspiring space. The HR coating can also be used to protect the panels and ensure longevity.
Velour
Genesis Signature's Velour showcases the natural form of fibre cement, exposing the texture through the deep sanding lines ingrained on the panels. The textured surface celebrates the intricate nature of fibre cement, adding a unique aspect to any architecture design.
The Velour range has 10 curated colour options, featuring an array of neutral shades alongside a blue, green and red tone. The through-coloured panels have a transparent coating on the surface, which highlights the natural texture of the boards.
Velour can be used throughout a wide range of building projects. The range enhances the building's user journey through both the aesthetic and functional benefits of the textured fibre cement panels.
Velour offers significant advantages in applications where the visual appeal of the structure plays a crucial role, making the range an ideal choice for projects that prioritise design and style. By incorporating Velour, architects and designers can create spaces that convey a sense of sophistication and elegance.
Cultural institutions such as art galleries, theatres and museums are perfect spaces to incorporate the Velour range. Whether used to accentuate a specific area or create a cohesive design throughout a structure, Velour can transform cultural spaces into a striking design that celebrates art and architecture.
Lumina
Lumina by Genesis Signature has an opaque coating with an iridescent finish, causing a metallic effect that shimmers when exposed to light. Lumina brings a unique elegance to any design and harmonises with the surrounding environment. The surface shifts in appearance depending on the sun's angle and the building's orientation, resulting in an ever-changing design.
Lumina’s colour range consists of eight varying shades, including a cream, warm amber shades, and cool toned blues and greys. The surface of Lumina forms various tones within the one colour, while in conjunction with natural lighting, resulting in a unique finish.
Lumina, with its sparkling appearance, can be used to portray luxury and elegance within high-end accommodations such as resorts and hotels. Performing arts venues, such as theatres and concert halls, can also benefit from the luminous finish, where the lights in these spaces can create a unique effect on both the interior and exterior of the building. High-rise towers are another example of how the Lumina range can create a memorable finish, with the sparkly panels forming a distinctive presence among skylines.
Essence
Essence is a through-coloured fibre cement panel with a distinctive cloudy finish. The cloudy surface on the board is due to the translucent coating on the panel and the dynamic manufacturing method, resulting in every panel in the range being unique in appearance.
The versatile Essence line features nine colours, including green, blue, orange, and red, as well as various grey tones. Each hue echoes the colours found in nature, and when combined with the cloudy texture, Essence beautifully reflects the natural world.
Essence panels come with a High Resistance (HR) coating as standard, making the panels exceptionally resistant to scratching and graffiti, as well as less prone to long-term maintenance – the range is, therefore, ideal for high traffic areas such as schools and universities.
For projects that demand dynamic, vibrant and distinctive finishes, Essence can significantly elevate the design aesthetic. In commercial spaces such as expansive office environments and retail settings, using Essence can help cultivate a sleek and modern design that stands out.
In the context of mixed-use developments within urban environments, Essence serves as a solution for harmonising commercial and residential areas. By integrating Essence into a design with the soft, cloudy texture of the cladding, projects can achieve a cohesive and visually appealing finish.
Serene
Serene has a matte surface with a sleek, sophisticated finish, offering an opaque coating on a through-coloured board. The colour palette features seven thoughtfully curated colours, spanning from warm oranges and rich brown hues to a variety of elegant greys with a touch of green. This colour selection allows for seamless integration into any landscape, ensuring that the boards complement their surroundings.
The matte finish of the topcoat in the Serene range makes the product ideal for contemporary architecture. The sleek finishes not only enhance an overall design, but also highlight intricate shadow lines, adding depth and dimension to an architectural project. The combination of functionality and elegance makes Serene an exceptional choice for modern design projects.
Serene can also be seamlessly integrated into biophilic designs, where the combination of the matte finish and natural colour palette enhances the environment without overshadowing the surrounding scenery, allowing the landscape to remain the focal point, and forming a harmonious connection between the built environment and nature.
The matte finish of Serene can provide a contemporary finish to apartment blocks while seamlessly blending in with neighbouring buildings. The Serene range minimises reflections, creating a softer visual impact. Available in an array of colours, Serene allows for creative design possibilities.
Commercial buildings such as office complexes can use the Serene range to form a sleek, contemporary design. The matte finish reduces glare, enhancing the comfort of the building's occupants and improving the energy efficiency of the structure. Serene can provide both functional and aesthetic appeal while creating an inviting environment for businesses.
