What’s it like to work with locker on a facade Project

A well-designed facade does far more than enhance a building’s appearance. It can improve occupant comfort, support sustainability goals, provide privacy and ventilation, and create a distinctive architectural identity that leaves a lasting impression.

Whether you’re designing a new development or revitalising an existing building, the right facade solution can transform the way a structure looks, performs and interacts with its environment.

At Locker, we work closely with architects, builders, developers and design teams to deliver facade solutions that combine functionality, creativity and long-term performance.

Why Facades Matter

Modern facade systems serve both aesthetic and practical purposes.

Visually, they can elevate an ordinary building into an architectural landmark, creating depth, texture and character while reinforcing a brand or design vision.

Functionally, facades can help:

• Reduce solar heat gain
• Improve occupant comfort
• Minimise glare
• Enhance building energy efficiency
• Provide privacy and security
• Support natural ventilation
• Deliver durable, low-maintenance performance

By filtering sunlight before it reaches the building envelope, facade systems can contribute to a more comfortable internal environment while helping to reduce reliance on artificial cooling.

Facade Solutions for Every Project

No two projects are the same, which is why Locker offers a range of architectural facade systems designed to meet different performance requirements and design outcomes.

Atmosphere™ Facades

Atmosphere™ facades are designed to balance openness, visibility and solar control.

The system allows building occupants to maintain outward views while reducing glare and managing sunlight throughout the day. This makes it an ideal solution for commercial buildings, car parks, education facilities, healthcare projects and public infrastructure.

Atmosphere™ panels can be installed on tensioned stainless steel cable systems for a lightweight, contemporary appearance, or mounted using rigid framing systems where project requirements call for a more structured solution.

Key benefits include:

• Excellent visibility from within
• Effective solar shading
• Lightweight construction
• Fast and efficient installation
• Suitable for new and existing buildings

Expanded Metal Facades

Expanded metal facades offer a distinctive architectural aesthetic while delivering outstanding durability and performance.

Up close, expanded metal creates texture and visual interest. From a distance, it appears light and open, giving buildings a modern, sophisticated appearance.

Expanded metal facades are commonly used for:

• Building exteriors
• Car parks
• Plant screening
• Privacy screening
• Security applications
• Sun shading systems

Their strength, versatility and low maintenance requirements make them a popular choice across both commercial and industrial projects.

Pic-Perf® Facades

For projects seeking a truly unique architectural statement, Pic-Perf® offers virtually limitless design possibilities.

Using advanced perforation technology, images, patterns, logos and artwork can be reproduced directly into metal panels through carefully varied hole sizes and densities.

The result is a striking visual feature that transforms a facade into a large-scale piece of architectural storytelling.

Pic-Perf® can be used to create:

• Corporate branding elements
• Cultural and community artwork
• Wayfinding features
• Custom architectural graphics
• Decorative screening solutions

Importantly, the system retains the practical benefits of perforated metal, including ventilation, shade and solar control.

Working with Locker: A Collaborative Approach

A successful facade project requires more than selecting the right product. It requires careful planning, technical expertise and a partner who understands both design intent and buildability.

With more than 80 years of experience delivering architectural metal solutions, Locker works alongside project teams from concept through to completion.

When you partner with Locker, you gain access to:

Design and Specification Support

Our team works with architects and designers to help identify the most suitable facade solution for the project’s aesthetic and performance requirements.

Technical Expertise

We provide guidance on materials, finishes, perforation patterns, structural considerations and installation methods to ensure the facade performs as intended.

Custom Manufacturing

Many of our facade systems can be tailored to meet specific architectural visions, whether through custom perforation patterns, unique panel sizing or integrated graphic elements.

End-to-End Project Support

From early consultation through fabrication and delivery, we remain engaged throughout the project to help ensure a smooth and successful outcome.

Bringing Architectural Visions to Life

Every building has a story to tell. The right facade can enhance that story while delivering meaningful performance benefits for occupants, owners and the surrounding community.

Whether you’re looking for a subtle screening solution, a highly customised architectural feature or a complete facade system, Locker has the experience and expertise to help bring your vision to life.
