A central design element, DecoBatten® enhances Marlowe’s refined coastal aesthetic, merging luxury with durability and sustainability. The façade’s clean verticality and organic textures create a harmonious dialogue with the waterfront, framing uninterrupted Broadwater vistas.

More than a stylistic choice, DecoBatten® supports the architectural integrity of the project, ensuring resilience in coastal conditions.Marlowe’s commitment to sustainability is woven into its material palette and cascading greenery, fostering a connection between built form and nature.

This project features DecoBatten® QuickClick® two-piece battens in DecoWood® Curly Birch , delivering both visual warmth and long-term performance.

Jack Tarrent, a developer at Sandbox properties learned of DECO products from the local construction community, where DECO stands out as a leading manufacturer of premium coastal aluminium products.

“Our directors are well connected to a large variety of developers, builders and designers across many different projects who use similar products, so we reached out for their recommendations when deciding what product to use for our project. From those conversations, inspections and research it became clear what products were superior and suited our projects verses what products had poor quality processes, limited testing and minimal proof of long-term performance – as well as the result of using these types of inferior products over time” says Jack.

While there are several products that offer similar aesthetics, DECO’s Qualicoat Seaside certification assures customers that not only will their products look amazing, but they will also be produced and tested to the highest standards, every time.

DECO is proud to be a licensed Qualicoat and Qualicoat Seaside applicator. Qualicoat Seaside ensures the highest quality architectural powder coating for use in seaside and coastal environments where aluminium products are exposed to more severe conditions like saltwater and high humidity.
