As the countdown to Futurebuild Australia 2026 begins, we’re spotlighting exhibitor DFV Australia. DFV Australia is the exclusive home of ezyHD2, a world-leading, patented wood-effect finish developed by the DFV Group in Italy. Utilising advanced powder-on-powder coating technology, ezyHD2 provides the authentic texture and warmth of natural timber without sacrificing the durability and compliance of architectural aluminium. Read on to discover their current design trends, and what you can expect to find at their stand.
Can you give us a brief introduction to your brand?
ezyHD2 is a world-leading wood-effect finish for aluminium, developed and patented by DFV Group in Italy and exclusively available in Australia through DFV Australia. It’s an advanced powder-on-powder coating technology that delivers the natural look and texture of timber with the durability, performance and compliance of architectural aluminium. At DFV Australia, we specialise in high-performance aluminium powder coating, combining global innovation with local expertise to support architects, builders and fabricators across the country. Together, ezyHD2 and DFV Australia represent a complete solution — pairing cutting-edge finish technology with precision application and reliable supply in the Australian market.
What differentiates your brand from other competitors in the market?
What sets ezyHD2 apart is its ezy technology & unique finish, combined with DFV Australia’s application expertise. Unlike traditional timber-look finishes such as sublimation or vinyl wraps, ezyHD2 is a true powder-on-powder coating system — meaning no films, no adhesives and no compromise on durability.
Through DFV Australia’s advanced ezy technology and strict quality control, the finish achieves superior UV stability, colour retention and resistance to peeling, flaking or fading — even in harsh Australian conditions. It is also non-combustible and compliant with local building standards, giving architects and specifiers confidence in both performance and compliance. This combination of Italian innovation and Australian execution is what truly differentiates ezyHD2 — delivering a finish that not only looks like timber but performs far beyond it.
Are there any exciting trends that you are seeing in the world of design this year?
We’re seeing a strong shift toward bringing warmth and texture into built environments — alongside a growing demand for materials that meet stricter sustainability and compliance requirements. There’s also a move toward low-maintenance, long-life solutions that reduce whole-of-life costs. ezyHD2 sits right at the intersection of these trends, offering the look of timber with the durability and sustainability of aluminium.
What can our visitors expect to see and experience on your stand at Futurebuild Australia 2026? Any new launches?
Visitors can expect a hands-on experience of the ezyHD2 range, including our latest woodgrain finishes and textures. We’ll be showcasing the depth and realism of the grain, how the finish is applied, and how it performs across a variety of architectural systems. We’re also excited to host a selection of our clients across the event, who will be showcasing their own systems that specify the ezyHD2 finish. This gives visitors the opportunity to see practical, real-world applications and explore how the finish can be integrated into their next project — because as we like to say, ezyHD2 is the finish you want on the systems you need.
What are you looking forward to the most at Futurebuild Australia 2026?
We’re looking forward to connecting with architects, designers and industry professionals, and being part of the broader conversation around innovation, sustainability and material performance. Events like this are a great opportunity not just to showcase products, but to educate, collaborate and explore how finishes like ezyHD2 can help shape the future of architectural design in Australia.
You can meet DFV Australia (Stand #540) at Futurebuild Australia 2026 from 11-13 June 2026, at ICC Sydney, register to attend today!
