Spurred on by the popularity of the industrial style, the use of concrete in architectural design is on the rise. Taking cues from factories, industrial spaces and warehouses, designers are using concrete to achieve a modern yet raw aesthetic, or as an accent on key architectural features.Previously divisive and controversial, brutalist architecture, which features concrete as one of its fundamental aesthetic elements, has become celebrated around the world;another indicator that the concrete aesthetic is on its way to becoming synonymous with high style.
However, in practice, the use of concrete has its challenges. While concrete can be used in a variety of architectural applications, it is inflexible once made and is difficult to reuse or repurpose.
Furthermore, cheaply-made concrete can rot due to water seepage and exposure to other elements, which can increase maintenance costs or require replacement.While strong and durable, concrete is difficult and heavy to transport, and is generally slower to build with, resulting in longer construction times, increased energy consumption and heavier demands on resources and costs.
Designers and specifiers are seeking versatile, cost-effective design solutions that can achieve a premium industrial-inspired aesthetic effortlessly, without compromising on style and performance.
100%Chinese-made, Saiyi showcases signature high-quality photo imaging(sublimation technology, allowing designers and specifiers to achieve a classic concrete or urban industrial look without the hassle, costs and logistical complexity of using real concrete. The Saiyi concrete effect is achieved by applying a super durable powder coating onto an aluminum profile or flat sheet, on top of which a realistic concrete-pattern film is applied. The profile is baked at high temperatures to ensure the ink is transferred into the entire depth of the powder-coated surface.
Saiyi allows designers and specifiers to apply a natural raw concrete aesthetic, in a textured or gloss finish, onto any solid aluminum surface or extrusion.Available in three concrete-inspired colours, including light, polished and charcoal, saiyi results in an attractive, highly durable finish that is completely fire safe and anti-graffiti.
In addition to any aluminum extrusion or flat sheet, saiyi can be applied to saiyi's entire range of lightweight, easy-to-install aluminum building products.This includes cladding, slats, battens and kitchen and bathroom splashbacks.This wide variety of building solutions allows designers and specifiers to use saiyi in a myriad of architectural applications to achieve a realistic concrete aesthetic without having to deal with the weight and inflexibility of real concrete.
