Telstra Data Exchange Redfern Reclad – National Rollout


Telstra Data Exchange Redfern Reclad – National Rollout

As part of a national recladding program to increase the aesthetic appeal of some of its buildings, the Telstra Data Exchange in Redfern received an upgrade to its facade. The dated pebblecrete was removed and the building reclad with 2,500m² of Mitsubishi ALPOLIC™ NC/A1 DtS non-combustible cladding in Champagne Metallic finish.

ALPOLIC™ NC/A1 was chosen due its superior flatness, wide range of standard and custom colours, and exceptional durability. The front side of the cladding is coated in the fluoropolymer resin Lumiflon FEVE, which means it boasts high resistance to UV radiation, colour fading, corrosion and other environmental factors. Another key consideration was ALPOLIC™’s 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 reclads. Other sites have included Blacktown and Penrith in NSW, Exhibition St in VIC, and Launceston in TAS. Still to be completed are Chatswood and Parramatta in NSW, and Waymouth and Flinders St in SA.
