Te Manawa Museum exterior cladding upgraded

, ,

TE MANAWA is the Manawatu’s museum of art, science and history for the region. It is also the home of our national Rugby Museum.

In 2010 the Palmerston North City Council under-took a major up-grade of the old facility, and as part of this up-grade a re-clad of the exterior envelope was required.

Dennis of Structon Architects Ltd required a exterior cladding that would “stand the test of time” and provide a hard wearing monolithic cladding. Resene Construction Systems, Integra LWC Facade System was selected for the project and in conjunction with Rockcote Systems premium Classico, pre-coloured plaster finishes to provide a hard wearing finish.

The exterior facade was installed and plastered by Central Plastering ltd. Steve Harley – Director of Central Plastering employees 6 staff and has over 30 years experience in the plastering industry. The projects was completed in late 2010 and was a huge asset to the city of Palmerston North during the Rugby World Cup in 2011.

Entry for the upcoming 2013 ADNZ awards

, ,

This is a project designed by ‘Design House Architecture’ in Hamilton which has been entered in the upcoming 2013 ADNZ awards.

Graphex was used upstairs for it’s lightweight properties, and easy installation over difficult roof area’s. Also the insulation value.

The Integra LWC Facade System was used downstairs due to it’s robustness, which would be needed on the first floor in a childcare centre. Also the ability to have the choice of 20mm or 40mm cavity systems, both certified by BRANZ meant the cavity would line up with the Hinuera stone Cladding as well with no tricky flashing details required.

Applicator: Waikato Decorators

Systems: Integra LWC Facade System, Graphex Insulated Facade System

3 year remediation project completed

, , ,

Over three years ago Harry Puttock (Rockcote Representative – Central) investigated us being allowed as an alternative to the original specified product for one of Wellington’s largest weathertight remedial projects. The project ‘Stadium Gardens’.

This very well known project sits directly adjacent to the Wellington Stadium so most Wellingtonian’s were aware of the issues due mainly to the large tent covering the entire building for the remediation process.
Don and the team at Totara Coatings were successful in securing this major tender. Original cladding of direct fixed fibre cement sheet, was completely removed and reinstated with Monotek, and the Rockcote Monotek Finishing System with the added layer of full fibre glass mesh to the entire wall surface. Finished with Resene Aquashield to provide a superhydrophobic mineral paint system to the main levels, and the ground level completed with Resene Cool Colour black (over masonry) with Resene Graffitti Shield to add a solid and durable solution that will resist the carnage of the annual sevens tournament. Believe it or not – all this was undertaken with building being tenanted. An awesome result that will stand the test of Wellington’s weather extreme’s.

UPDATE:  Removed reference to incorrect statement ‘European coating system’ being removed off the existing building
