CBUS Property – Victoria Police Centre

External steel elements need high-performance protection from the elements – whether extreme temperatures, humidity, wind, rain, hail or sunshine.

The development was designed to meet the following sustainability ratings in accordance with government policy: 5-star Green Star rating; 5-star NABERS Energy rating (for base building); 5-star NABERS Water rating. Therefore, it was necessary to specify and use Dulux products created with sustainability in mind.

With more than 5,000 staff working from the building, surfaces are subject to constant foot traffic. Protective coatings specified for high-traffic surfaces in these areas must support continuous cleaning and provide outstanding durability.

It was important that the building was protected by coatings that were easy to clean. Dulux products support graffiti removal with appropriate chemical cleaners, including single pack, 2 pack coatings and powder coating solutions.

With project specifiers able to order physical samples, textures, colours and finishes were able to be viewed on site prior to application, assisting with decision making.

Sustainability-focused products were specified to allow the building to achieve demanding sustainability ratings.

External steel and other substrates were protected from the elements with durable coatings that were also aesthetically pleasing.

The building – especially common areas – would be subject to immense foot traffic each day, so it was vital that walls were able to withstand knocks, scrapes and scuffs. Dulux Wash & Wear was used to provide long-lasting, washable surfaces.
