Lightweight cladding, acrylic renders, decorative finishes, and architectural profiles — manufactured in Melbourne’s south-east and supplied to builders across Victoria.
Made in Melbourne. Trusted Across Victoria.
Unitex is a Melbourne manufacturer. Every Unitex product — cladding systems, base coat renders, textures, finishes, Uni-Shape® profiles, sealers, and topcoats — is manufactured at the Unitex facility at 96 Prosperity Way, Dandenong South. Melbourne builders and applicators aren’t buying an imported product with local distribution — they are buying a product made by a Melbourne team, engineered for Australian conditions, and supported by technical sales staff who work in the same market.
That matters. It means consistent supply from a facility 30 minutes from most Melbourne metro job sites. It means technical support from people who know Victorian building requirements, Victorian weather, and the specific demands of Melbourne’s building industry. And it means that when a product question comes up on site, the person you call is local — not an overseas support line.
Unitex has been manufacturing in Dandenong since 1983. More than four decades of local production, local innovation, and local service have made Unitex the trusted choice for Melbourne builders, plasterers, and applicators who need products that perform, systems that comply, and service that shows up.
Unitex Products for Melbourne Builders and Applicators
Lightweight Cladding Systems
The Unitex Base Board System is Australia’s leading CodeMark-accredited EIFS — a fully integrated assembly of EPS insulation panels, polymer render coating, and alkali-resistant fibreglass mesh reinforcement. Available in cavity (CodeMark CM-AUS-80002, BRANZ No. 758) and non-cavity (CodeMark CM70007, BRAC V11/03) configurations, with BAL 29 and BAL 40 certified options for construction in bushfire-prone areas across the Dandenong Ranges, Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula, and outer metropolitan Melbourne.
For Melbourne builders managing energy efficiency requirements, the Unitex Base Board System delivers approximately 400% more thermal efficiency than equivalent-cost rendered brick veneer — a meaningful advantage for NatHERS assessments and energy star ratings.
Base Coat Renders
A comprehensive range of polymer-modified acrylic renders for EPS cladding, brickwork, blockwork, AAC panels, fibre cement sheeting, and more. The range includes non-combustible products certified to AS 1530.1 by CSIRO, and the Base Board Render BBR 8.5 — the specified base coat render for the CodeMark-accredited Base Board System. Ready-mixed and powder formulations available.
Textures & Finishes
From the standard 500 Series trowel-on and roll-on textures used across Melbourne’s volume housing market to the innovative Tanami polished concrete finish and Veneto mineral coloured finish for premium custom builds, the Unitex texture range gives Melbourne applicators the products to deliver any facade design intent. A wide colour palette is available through the Unitex tinting system.
Uni-Shape® Profiles & Columns
Lightweight EPS architectural profiles manufactured in Dandenong — columns, window architraves, keystones, parapets, corbels, stringers, pilasters, fence capping, and more. For Melbourne’s volume residential market and its strong tradition of architecturally detailed facades, Uni-Shape® profiles and columns deliver genuine character at a fraction of the cost and installation complexity of masonry alternatives. Hundreds of profiles available across 29 subcategories.
Paints, Primers & Sealers
Unitex substrate sealers (Cembond, Uni-Substrate Sealer), protective topcoats (Uni-PTC), and surface sealers (Dry Seal) complete the Unitex render systems in Melbourne. For north-facing facades in Melbourne’s temperate climate, Uni-PTC provides meaningful UV protection and extended service life for the finished texture coat.
Why Melbourne Builders Choose Unitex
Melbourne is Victoria’s dominant construction market — and Unitex is Victoria’s home-ground product. Local manufacturing, local stock, local technical support, and trade opening times from 6:00am designed around Melbourne’s early-starting building industry.
The BRAC accreditation (Certificate V11/03) carried by the Unitex Non-Cavity System is a Victorian Building Authority accreditation that provides specific compliance assurance for Victorian projects. Combined with CodeMark and BRANZ certification, Unitex offers Melbourne builders and building surveyors a complete accreditation stack that addresses every compliance pathway available in Victoria.
The full product range is available for pickup at two Victorian locations: the head office and manufacturing facility at Dandenong South, and the URW Oakleigh branch at 1346 North Road, Oakleigh South — both open from 6:00am Monday to Friday. Melbourne builders can pick up materials before heading to site, or arrange delivery across greater Melbourne and regional Victoria.
Dahlsens stores across Victoria and southern NSW also stock Unitex products — providing additional pickup options for Melbourne-area builders and applicators. Walkers in Geelong and Ballarat carry the Unitex range for builders in those markets.
