Durra Panels were supplied with a variety of colour coded architectural finishes.

Durra Panel roof, ceiling and wall systems were specified for use throughout the facility for thermal, acoustic and aesthetic purposes. Durra Panels were supplied with a variety of colour coded architectural finishes and surfaces of low emissivity.

Durra Panels and Durra Steel Sections were assembled on ground and crane hoisted into position using the Durra Lifting Frame. A safe, fast and cost effective method of construction that reduced the project build time.
