Classic cars in their best possible light

On display at Mazda Australia’s new Melbourne headquarters, a collection of the auto maker’s finest creations had the best home possible, except for one hot problem. Always ready to help, Verosol found the perfect solution.

The Building

In 2016, Mazda Australia officially opened its impressive new headquarters at Mulgrave in Melbourne’s south eastern suburbs. Having been at its previous site (also in Mulgrave) since 2001 – and having increased sales significantly in those intervening years – the move represented an upgrade.

The Requirement

Apart from the requisite office space, the new facility also includes a large showroom in which some of the auto maker’s most prized possessions – a collection of signature vehicles, including classic NA and NB MX-5s, RX-7s and a vintage Capella – are displayed.

The move received much publicity at the time and appeared to be a great success. However, some time later, in 2019, a problem emerged at the new headquarters in the form of heat and glare issues – The 4mtr floor to ceiling sloping windows were simply generating too much heat.

The Solution

Motorised roller blinds featuring Verosol’s 205 SilverScreen Performance fabric now cover all forward-facing windows at Mazda Australia’s Mulgrave showroom. Each a full 4.2m in length and featuring black on one side and metallised finish that takes on a soft grey appearance on the other, they are an attractive addition to the building.

The SilverScreen 205 blinds provide heat and glare reduction of 70 – 75% keeping temperatures mild, while allowing unobstructed views to the building’s exterior, they have done exactly what they were intended to do. They have solved Mazda Australia’s heat and glare problems and helped the company display its classic vehicles in the best possible light.
