Vitradual, Australia’s most tried and tested solid aluminium panel is a highly versatile cladding product, with high-quality considerations and industry leading components prioritised during its design and manufacture. It is an ideal product for Type A and B developments where non-combustible building materials are critical, such as mixed-use developments, residential construction, and large-scale government infrastructure projects including hospitals.
When designing Vitradual, Fairview focused on machinability, performance and durability, and was committed to creating a product, which would be known for its superior quality, extensive colour range and design integrity.
As Australia’s first solid aluminium panel, Vitradual has been the chosen cladding product for thousands of new build and rectification projects across the country. Fairview’s comprehensive quality assurance process means that from product design to the fabrication floor, Vitradual has been built with performance in mind.
Not all panels are created equal.
Fairview’s rigorous approach to quality control and assurance from design, sourcing and material testing to regulatory compliance and product warranty, means that Vitradual is the leading choice for solid aluminium cladding solutions.
Vitradual is backed by a team who are dedicated to the total fulfilment of their client’s expectations, which is reflected by a complete quality control system, beginning at the point of specification and continuing through to delivery of the guaranteed products.
More than 50 years of exposure testing in the tropics continue to recognise fluoropolymer coatings for their superior chemical and physical properties. With a virtually unlimited colour range and customisable options, Vitradual is available as a perfect colour match for rectification projects.
Vitradual is one of the most stringently tested solid aluminium panels in the market, having undertaken the following tests and assessments:
- AS 1530.3 – referenced in C1.9(e)v, AS 1530.1 – Confirmed non-combustibility of solid aluminium
- 4000hrs Salt spray resistance – corrosion resistance performance
- 4 Point bending – structural performance
- Fatigue testing – performance of folds on cassette panel relating to repeated wind loadings & thermal movement
- Grade & Temper testing – added assurance of material properties
- AAMA2605 – coating performance specification
- Codemark – confirmed collation of BCA compliance
- RED Fire Assessment – added confirmation of compliance
- IGNIS BAL rating assessment – for use in bushfire zones
- Euroclass A1 testing – further confirmation of performance

Shape Australia’s Brad Watts said: “We’ve been using Vitradual on a number of our current projects, so it was very surprising to see the amount of development that goes into each of their products, not only into the panel’s appearance but the level of technical knowledge to produce such a high-quality product. We choose Fairview’s products because of their level of quality control and their commitment to ensuring that each panel that enters their warehouse, passes their strict quality control process.”
