Why choose PERMALITE®?

Geographical, cultural, and industrial changes in Australia have produced challenging applications that call for building materials with special capabilities. PERMALITE® aluminium products are the Lysaght solution for aggressive environments where durability and stylish good looks must be delivered with cost effectiveness and without compromise.

Specially designed for corrosion resistance

PERMALITE® is the clear choice for long-term performance and peace of mind in harsh environments such as water frontages, industrial facilities, or any application where corrosion becomes a major concern.

All PERMALITE® roofing and walling profiles, purlins, and structural sections are produced entirely from marine-grade aluminium, an alloy specifically developed for its resistance to corrosion in marine, industrial, commercial, and other caustic environments. These products are roll formed to produce high performance cladding and purlins or extruded to produce structural sections with an exceptional combination of strength and light weight.

Resistance to corrosion in the presence of salt spray and other airborne chemical agents has made PERMALITE® an ongoing success on industrial, commercial and residential projects all over Australia for 40 years. PERMALITE® products are regularly specified for severe environmental conditions including industrial, agricultural, marine, intensive animal farming, swimming pools or other aggressive conditions.

Long-lasting and cost effective

PERMALITE® aluminium building components can reduce costs when considering overall project life benefits. Its light weight and ease of application combines with its immunity to rust and corrosive degradation to assure a longer life and less maintenance. The complete elimination of any need for additional protective coating also must be considered in the overall maintenance or replacement value proposition.

PERMALITE® aluminium components can also reduce transport, craneage and manual handling costs through economies of being such a lightweight material compared to steel. The formability, high strength-to-weight ratio and ease of recycling make aluminium a uniquely suited proposition for projects in corrosive industrial and marine environments.

To help make the most of any PERMALITE® solution you can call on the wealth of experience accumulated by Lysaght to assist with design advice, custom colours, or even on-site assistance.
