The exterior had to look fantastic but also
perform well in the coastal setting. To meet both
factors, the facade is a mix of angle-seam black
metal cladding and the contrasting white Resene
Construction Systems Masonry Render System.
The Masonry Render System – a composite
exterior plaster finish – was an ideal choice for
this upmarket waterfront project, says general
manager of Rockcote Resene Mike Olds.
“The system is applied by hand in multiple
layers to provide crack resistance, full weather
protection and a low upkeep finish. This system
also provides peace of mind for the apartment
owners as it carries a high 15-year performance
Guarantee, as well as a 5-year Workmanship
Warranty with a Resene-registered plasterer.
“It also comes complete with our premium
Resene Construction Systems EdgeSeal Flashing
suite for extra security from water penetration.
This is fibreglass reinforced and offers a costeffective solution with excellent performance.”
