Pursuing reinvention with Novotexi 440®, achieving roofing and cladding excellence

The success behind the Novotexi offering is its pioneering method of installation. The roof sheeting or cladding is lifted to eaves level of the building where Macsteel’s team of sky walkers await their product as it is roll formed in the sky. The team quickly and effectively applies the sheeting from the sky former, directly onto the roof, installing it quickly and efficiently with patented flashings and fittings. This specialised method allows the product to withstand strong winds and other challenges in large-scale roofing projects. Strict safety standards have been implemented by Macsteel and approved by the Department of Labour to ensure a safe process and enabling the provision of this unique service to the construction industry.

Roll forming the product on-site comes with the added advantage of a more efficient building site. Contractors can now work alongside each other on the same project, saving time and cost. Novotexi also comes in various thicknesses, making it durable and easy to install over expansive areas (as the world record would attest to).

This structural integrity also makes it ideal for side cladding, offering a clean, aesthetically pleasing look to any building that can easily be enhanced with architectural features such as curved roofs or connections between different structural elements. Novotexi is the ideal product that can easily deliver such aesthetics using customised flashings and fittings. These patented components ensure the watertightness of every structure without compromising visual appeal, even in challenging environments. The use of elements such translucent polycarbonate sheeting allows natural light into a building, again allowing beauty and function to co-exist.

Novotexi’s reputation precedes them not only in the technical arena, but also when it comes to its focus on safety, customer-centricity and teamwork. Large projects require thorough planning and logistics, with constant considerations of cost and time constraints. The Novotexi team forms a valuable part of the project team with safe and efficient installations under the most complex of circumstances.
