Form Meets Function with Alteria Signature Aluminium Systems

Finding products that blend striking aesthetics with straightforward installation can be challenging. However, that’s where Alteria Signature Aluminium Systems come into play. Designed especially for the needs of architects, designers, builders and contractors, Alteria has created a refined collection of aluminium battens and cladding systems that are as practical as they are visually impressive.

The company was founded on years of experience across the design and construction industry. Having worked closely with specifiers and contractors, the team at Alteria recognised a gap in the market for an aluminium system that offers both considered design and installation simplicity. The result is a proprietary range that brings together purpose-designed profiles with all the accessories, trims and supporting documents needed to make projects run smoothly from start to finish.

Specifying Alteria products means receiving a complete Signature Aluminium System, not just a single product. Every element has been carefully thought through to ensure quicker installation, long-lasting performance and a smart, consistent finish. From detailed install guides to warranty information, Alteria also offers what they call their Signature Service = full support from specification to delivery.

It’s this combination of appearance, practicality and service that has seen Alteria products used in a range of standout projects.

In Berwick, Victoria, a collection of contemporary multi-residential townhouses was given a distinctive edge thanks to Alteria’s 50 x 100 aluminium battens in the Evoke Silver Acacia finish. Chosen for their refined texture and visual warmth, these battens were used to create decorative screening elements that serve both an aesthetic and practical function. Installed across balconies and entry areas, the battens introduce rhythm and contrast to the façades while also offering a layer of privacy and solar shading.

The Evoke Silver Acacia finish delivers the look of timber without ongoing maintenance, making it a particularly attractive choice for residential settings. The result is a series of sleek, modern homes with façades that appear detailed and thoughtfully composed. Alteria worked closely with the install team to ensure smooth delivery and fit, providing all the necessary documentation and guidance along the way. This seamless process, paired with the visual appeal of the final result, demonstrates how Alteria’s systems are helping shape contemporary residential design.

In South Melbourne, Alteria played a key role in the delivery of a unique architectural feature within The Gladstone – a high-end apartment development centred around an open-air lagoon pool. This striking outdoor space required materials that would not only withstand exposure to the elements but also complement the design-led surroundings. Alteria’s aluminium battens, finished in Evoke Spotted Gum, were chosen for their natural appearance and structural integrity.

What sets this installation apart is the use of Alteria’s innovative two-piece batten system, which enables a quicker and more efficient installation. The battens frame the pool area, adding warmth and texture while creating an inviting contrast with the cool blue of the water and the smooth grey of the surrounding stone tiles. The Spotted Gum finish replicates the richness of timber but maintains the durability of aluminium, making it the ideal solution for a high-use outdoor setting.

Both projects are a clear example of how Alteria’s systems can contribute to both the form and function of a building. Whether used as a feature or as part of the wider cladding scheme, these aluminium battens are designed to deliver on all fronts.

In addition to the physical products, Alteria continues to support the design community by making their systems available as BIM content through Bimstore. This makes it easier for architects and designers to integrate their systems into project workflows, helping save time and reduce uncertainty during the specification process.

With a growing list of successful installations and a strong commitment to supporting every stage of the building process, Alteria Signature Aluminium Systems is fast becoming a go-to name for high-quality, easy-to-use aluminium solutions.
