Concrete Finishes - Cerano Finish over Plasterboard
General
Description of Works/Specification Notes
The system incorporates the application of a Cerano concrete finish.
Building Code Compliance
If the project has a building consent then the following clauses apply.
B2 – Durability
This specification complies with the requirements as set out in B2 – Durability which must always be considered when demonstrating compliance with each of the clauses of the Building Code. It ensures that a building throughout its life will continue to satisfy the performance of the Building Code. It confirms the use of materials that will remain functional throughout the specified intended life of the building, but not less than 50, 15 or 5 years
This system meets the expected durability of the NZBC of at least 5 years
On Going Maintenance Instructions
Provide ongoing maintenance instructions required to meet the performance requirements of the NZBC.
Building Consent Authority Requirements
All the appropriate inspections are to be carried out by a BCA representative and that it complies with the NZBC requirements.

Documentation
Finish Sample
Submit one 300 mm x 300 mm sample of the selected texture finish and colour for approval on request by the main contractor or specifier. Obtain signature of acceptance on sample and return to the Registered Plasterer.
Maintenance Instructions
Provide Resene Construction Systems Maintenance Guide on or before practical completion of the contract for issuing to the building owner. Resene Construction Systems Maintenance Guide to be provided on request.
Health and Safety
Refer to the requirements of the Health and Safety in Employment Act 2015 and Worksafe NZ: Guidelines for the provision of facilities and general safety in the construction industry. If the elimination or isolation of potential hazards and risks is not possible then minimise hazards and risks in this work on site by using the proper equipment and techniques as required in the MPNZA Painters hazard handbook. Supply protective clothing and equipment. Inform employees and others on site of the hazards and put into place procedures for dealing with emergencies. Obtain from Resene Construction Systems the Material Safety Data Sheets for each product. Keep sheets on site and comply with the required safety procedures. Confirmation at the start of the project as to whether a Site Specific Safety Plan is to be produced by the Registered Plasterer prior to works starting.
Warranty
Warrant this system under normal environmental and use conditions against failure. Resene Construction Systems system warranty.
Materials: by Resene Construction Systems – 15 Years Materials only
Execution: by Registered Plasterer – 5 Years Workmanship only
Components Used
Acrylbond Resin
- Multi-purpose Resin supplied in 5kg and 20kg containers
MultiStop Bedding Compound
- Polymer-modified, cement based dry plaster mix. Supplied in 15kg bags.
Rockcote Polymer Render
- 100% acrylic, high-build texture coating. Supplied in 15 Litre pails
Cerano Deep Base
ROCKCOTE Cerano is a flexible acrylic based coating manufactured using 100% acrylic emulsions, quality graded quartz and other additives blended together to provide a natural coloured render finish over many substrates. ROCKCOTE Cerano provides a seamless and natural solid rendered look, with the flexibility and performance required for all solid masonry substrates and modern lightweight walling systems.
Resene Aquapel – Waterbourne
- Resene Aquapel is a water repellent treatment formulated to help control efflorescence and give a long-term water-beading effect to deter water penetration.
Installation/Application
Resin/MultiStop Slurry Coat
Surface Preparation
Ensure surface is clean, sound, dry and free from dust, dirt, grease, mould and lichen.
Application
Mix a solution of Acrylbond and Rockcote MultiStop together and apply using a roller or brush. A high solids roller can also be used to ensure the solution is evenly distributed across the wall surface.
For pourous substrates (eg. brick, concrete) mix a 50:50 4L mix of Acrylbond/water and a 1 kg of MultiStop/AAC Adhesive/Hydroplast to the mix.
For other surfaces (including painted) ensure a 4 Litre of Acrylbond is mixed directly with 1 kg of MultiStop/AAC Adhesive/Hydroplast.
If you are unsure of the surface you are applying the slurry to, apply to a small section of wall and test for adhesion.
Rockcote Polymer Render
Description:
Polymer Render/Torino is an acrylic based texture for use over mesh coats on a variety of substrates
both interior and exterior. Polymer Render/Torino is an attractive, subtle, granular texture ideally
suited to modern construction. Apply as 1 coat to achieve desired finish. Polymer Render/Torino is
also used prior to applying an Acrylic Texture over ICF Block (Polyblock) and Fibre Cement Backer
Boards/Sheets.
Application
Texture is applied not less than 1mm with a steel trowel to a flat finish then float using a circular
action to an even texture over the following five minutes with a plastic float. Apply plaster only
when the temperature is between 5°C and 30°C and will be in that range for the 24 hours period
following application.
Coverage approximately 15m2 per pail
Rockcote Cerano (2 Coats)
Limitations
Check colour before use
Ensure same batch numbers are used on a single wall where possible
Should not be applied in temperatures below 5ºC or above 35ºC
Not suitable for areas of continual damp or areas submerged in water
Surface Preparation:
ROCKCOTE Cerano must be applied over properly prepared substrates that are free of dirt, dust,
grime and any other contaminants. Substrates must not contain more than 15% moisture prior to
application. Do not apply if air and surface temperatures are below 5ºC or above 35ºC. Must be
applied over the top of ROCKCOTE Polymer Render. When applied over Fibre Cement Sheet then
RMaxx must be used.
Application
Check colour before use. Ensure same batch numbers are used on a single wall where possible. Mix
to help reactivate and aerate contents. Apply evenly over the properly prepared substrate with a
hawk and trowel. Ideally apply slightly thicker than the sand granules to achieve optimum results.
Finish with a steel or Venetian trowel. Be sure to keep a wet edge with this product and plan your
work to suit the product and weather conditions. If joining up to previous day’s application, it is
"good working practice" to start and finish on an external or internal corner. Keep sheltered from
rain & moisture for 24 – 48 hrs after completion dependent on climatic conditions.
Coverage approximately 2-2.5m2 per litre
Resene Aquapel – Waterborne (2 Coats)
Surface preparation
Ensure surface is clean and dry, free from dirt, dust and loose material, oil, grease and mould.
Waterblasting is the best exterior surface preparation method prior to painting.
Application
Stir thoroughly before use. Apply by brush, roller or low pressure spray. Recoat after six hours under
normal conditions.
Dependent on surface porosity – typically 2.5 sq. metres per litre for concrete block, 8-11 sq. metres per litre for concrete (tilt, precast and plaster)
Water repellence will reduce over time. To maintain water repellence reapplication will be usually required every three years or when water repellence disappears. Reapplication will be required when water applied to the treated areas does not form beads.
