How architects and specifiers can elevate their designs with stunning architectural panel systems

No1 Architectural Panel Systems (No1 APS) is a new roofing and cladding brand of No1 Roofing & Building Supplies, a family-owned Australian business with over 20 years of industry experience and ten showrooms across NSW. 

From design concept to installation, No1 APS offers a comprehensive service for architects and specifiers who can rely on the manufacturer for in-depth design and industry knowledge for their high-end residential and commercial projects. 

“I have an architectural background, and what we provide to architects and designers is not only presentations but also all the technical design support that they require to specify a product,” says Marcio da Silva, Regional Development Manager, No1 Roofing & Building Supplies.

No1 APS systems are fully tested and compliant with AS1562.1, a certification required for metal roofing and wall cladding panels to comply with the National Construction Code (NCC). Thorough testing allows the technical support team to acquire in-depth knowledge about each product and support the architects accordingly. 

“We understand the limitations of each panel, how to install it, what substrate to use in which thickness and what the best fixings are. The information our technical support team provides is fully backed by the results from the test reports,” explains Marcio.

Being the exclusive manufacturer of Snap-Line45 in Australia, No1 Roofing & Building Supplies calls this flagship product within their architectural panels range the strongest architectural panel in the market for roofing and cladding. 

Combining a distinctive appearance, durability and numerous design options, Snap-Line45 makes a truly iconic statement on any building and has become one of the most popular choices of Australian homeowners for steel roofing and wall cladding.

Suited for roofing, wall cladding or gable applications, the product allows architects to create interesting intersecting angles and plane contrasts with roof pitches by aligning the prominent ribs horizontally, vertically or diagonally.

The natural colours of copper, titanium zinc and corten work well in a wide range of Australian environments. Additionally, architects can choose from the vast range of Colorbond colours to add a unique look to any project. 

Strength, playfulness and creativity align in Genesis Standing Seam applications. Whether architects want to create contrasting planes and angles by playing with vertical, horizontal or even diagonal rib alignments, or create curved configurations with customised pan widths, this cladding product allows multiple design variations.

Genesis Standing Seam’s strong linear expression is also perfect for creating beautiful aesthetic connections with other structural features, including stone, timber and glass.

UrbanE Nailstrip is all about elegant simplicity, durability and cost-effective installation. It is a perfect choice to add beautiful cladding to any residential or commercial application, providing a seamless appearance similar to Standing Seam but without the need for mechanical seaming of ribs. The sheets are simply fastened with fixings through the perforated side tab of the panel, which are concealed under the adjoining sheets. 

Eclipse Snaplock combines weathertight performance with rapid installation due to the clever rib-locking design. The prominent ribs and pans are capable of carrying large volumes of water during harsh storms.

With a choice of 25 mm or 38 mm rib heights and a selection of pan widths and colours, Eclipse Snaplock can blend in or stand out in any cladding design. 

Expression Interlocking Panel takes the art of wall cladding to the next level. With an enormous variety of shadow lines, panel reveal widths and application possibilities, Expression Interlocking Panels are a contemporary take on traditional Australian timber weatherboards.

The interlocking grooved flange design with the recessed joint allows architects to play with vertical, horizontal, and diagonal layouts including variable length and corner folding for wall cladding and facade applications.

Slate is known for its durability, exceptional weather resistance and stunning looks.

No1 APS is the sole Australian distributor of ReadySlate, a Spanish product, which allows decreasing the installation time significantly due to its easy-to-install, pre-assembled modular system. 

Savanna Flatlock architectural wall panels create a minimalist aesthetic, oozing refined elegance. Overlapping panels, fixed with concealed clips, allow numerous design possibilities.
