Redeveloped convenience centre deploys Eva-Last products to achieve visibility, attract customers

Chartwell Corner is located in a prime location between the entrance gates of two of Johannesburg’s most well-known upmarket residential estates – Dainfern Estate and Steyn City – in Johannesburg. Despite its convenient location at a major intersection in an affluent and densifying area with great retail potential, a lack of visibility led to the previous shopping complex on the same location failing.   The developers required a partial demolition of the shopping complex and a revitalised entrance structure to appeal to passing customers.

PRIME LOCATION REQUIRED HIGH-CLASS AESTHETIC

A variety of Eva-Last products and profiles were selected for a variety of applications to create texture and warmth in the façade application on a large scale. The entrance façade utilised Eva-Last cladding boards to fill structures 12 metres high and create dimension, depth and a quality aesthetic. Walkway columns were also cladded using Eva-Last fascia boards and pergola structures were completed using Eva-Last Lifespan beams.

EVA-LAST PRODUCTS PROVE THEIR WORTH

Due to a late change in specification, an opportunity to use Eva-Last’s Lifespan beams arose. This had the positive outcome that all construction elements worked together seamlessly on an aesthetic and structural level.

LASTING DURABILITY ESSENTIAL

“We’ve used Eva-Last on nearly every project JL Design has managed for the last seven years. We know there is never an issue with stock, no comebacks with how the products are fastened to a subframe. The boards are colour fast and stay as presented and approved within the warranty period. We have come to trust Eva-Last and they have never failed us, so we back the products – there’s no reason to move away from Eva-Last. Being able to use Lifespan beams as a late addition to the project specification actually improved the outcome so we’re very pleased.” – Christelle de Villiers, JL Design.
