Our most popular profile is renowned for its sleek modern lines. It is ideal for contemporary designs where a minimalistic yet striking appearance is desired.
Due to its specific design, the ShadoLine profile creates a more pronounced negative detail, adding depth and texture to the facade. This effect brings a dynamic visual interest to structures, changing throughout the day with the sun’s movement.
ShadoLine can be installed vertically or horizontally, offering flexibility in design and application. This versatility allows architects and designers to utilise the profile in various ways to achieve the desired aesthetic and functional outcomes.
Ultraclad's ShadoLine Weatherboard is a 197mm cover, flat-surfaced board with an 18mm square negative. It has a clean, crisp appearance and is 1 of 3 profiles in the Shado family.
The ShadoLine profile can be installed vertically or horizontally on residential, apartments and light commercial buildings. It is equally suited to classic or modern aesthetics.
UltraClad® is an interlocking, durable aluminium cladding system. It is supplied as a complete integrated system with its own flashings and corners, soffits and jointers. UltraClad® horizontal and vertical profiles are available in a range of different styles varying from 150mm cover to 198mm cover.
