LYSAGHT® CORRUGATED CLADDING RANGE — Traditional or Contemporary — THE MANY FACES OF LYSAGHT CUSTOM ORB®

When Lysaght began manufacturing galvanised roof sheets in Australia over 100 years ago, it was the iconic corrugated shape that paved the way.

Today this product is known as CUSTOM ORB® and it remains one of Lysaght’s most popular profiles. Not only is it being used to reroof traditional homes and to give an authentic look to heritage-inspired reproductions, but it’s also crossed construction eras and architectural styles, with CUSTOM ORB® cladding increasingly being used in the latest contemporary architectural designs. And while the original iconic shape has remained largely unchanged over the years, Lysaght’s corrugated cladding range has expanded to include a number of other variants, all of which are available in a wide selection of COLORBOND® steel colours and unpainted ZINCALUME® steel, providing added choice to builders, architects and homeowners. And once reserved exclusively for use as a roof cladding, current-day design trends now see this versatile product being specified in many walling applications.

Today, there are five products available within the LYSAGHT® corrugated range.

CUSTOM ORB® — Australia’s iconic shape rippling corrugated aesthetics of traditional CUSTOM ORB® but with deeper corrugations. Offering the same product benefits of CUSTOM ORB® but with ribs that are 30 per cent deeper, CUSTOM BLUE ORB ACCENT® 21 allows a higher rainwater carrying capacity which makes it suitable for roof pitch designs as low as 3°. With ribs that are 120 per cent deeper and 50 per cent wider than CUSTOM ORB®, ACCENT® 35 is even bolder in appearance, offers longer spanning capabilities and can be used on roof pitches as low as 2° thanks to the products increased rainwater carrying abilities.
