Lacework Panels
Aluminum Lacework
Heritage Range
Sandcast moulds from the Victorian Era in Aluminium
This range of lacework are IDENTICAL copies of the old cast iron panels found throughout Sydney, from the Victorian Era (the late 1800s – early 1900s).
We are still using century-old patterns to create our sand moulds. These moulds are then cast with molten aluminium which gives them an identical appearance to the historic cast iron (but with all the benefits of aluminium).
The panels in this range are single sided which means they are flat on the back/inside. This is how they were traditionally made.
They are also much thicker than a die-cast panel giving them a more traditional look and this is what Central Foundry has specialised in over the past 40 years.
These are just a few of the more popular styles that we cast. If you cannot see the style you are after, then simply email a photo through to sean@centralfoundry.com.au and he can let you know if we carry the pattern or if we have to make a mould from the original. You may also like to visit our showroom which is set up in the downstairs office and showcases some of the more popular ranges.
1 Metre High Panels
Sand Cast Moulds In Aluminium
In early 2015 Central Foundry were able to use new technology to increase the size of some of the existing Heritage Range Panels to 1 metre high in order to comply with Building Codes Australia. This technology has enabled us to retain the exact proportions of the original Victorian Era panels so the increased size does not detract from any of the original features.
Our main reason for developing this new range was to eliminate the need for a bottom rail as the increased height achieves B.C.A compliance without having to “lift up” the panels to make them 1 metre high.
Moving forward we hope to expand our range of 1 metre high panels as they are proving to be quite popular.
Newtown Panel 595 mm Wide x 1000 mm Hight
Mimosa Panel 585 mm Wide x 1025 mm Hight
Sunflower Panel 500 mm Wide x 1000 mm Hight
Flannel flower Panel 560 mm Wide x 970 mm Hight
Heritage Panels
When using heritage panels, a bottom rail is used to bring the height up to 1 metre or above to comply with current BSA codes.
1 Metre Panels
When using our 1 metre panels the need for a bottom rail is eliminated as the height already complies with the BSA codes.
