Rebuilding and renovation will be in the forefront of many householders' minds following recent earthquakes and aftershocks.
"We have received numerous calls into our offices espousing the virtues and success of their Rockcote Plaster cladding post-earthquake," says Rockcote general manager Mike Olds.
"As one of the most comprehensive and popular cladding solutions in New Zealand, Rockcote Systems can offer products of proven integrity and longevity to rejuvenate your home that are sleek, stylish and durable."
As a Resene Group company, Rockcote Systems benefits from Resene's technical development and advancements in coatings and colour technology.
Correct design and installation of the exterior cladding is critical to its integrity and longevity. Consequently, many of the company's cladding systems have been rigorously appraised by Branz.
Selection of the appropriate products and their installation is only undertaken by registered Rockcote plasterers. Many contractors hold other recognised qualifications, including the premium licensed building practitioners certificate, but Rockcote Systems has been actively involved in the implementation of the industry's external plastering licence class.
Rockcote Systems has also developed its own comprehensive on-site assistance processes to enhance the application and co-ordination of the product range, as well as set the benchmark for the industry, giving protection both for its reputable products and for consumers.
15-YEAR GUARANTEE
Rockcote Systems products are all supported by a 15-year performance guarantee and a five-year workmanship guarantee from a registered plasterer. Rockcote Systems is also committed to environmentally friendly construction materials and a manufacturing process which emits no pollutants and creates no toxic waste.
While the exterior Rockcote cladding systems enjoy a public profile by brand, performance and aesthetics, there is also the Rockcote advanced construction products range including lightweight concrete flooring, fencing and interior products such as Milano Italian lime plasters, and the latest earthen natural clay finishes.
Many award-winning contemporary homes feature Rockcote cladding or render systems.
These systems are also effective in the refurbishment of existing homes to update style, increase thermal insulation, improve longevity and, best of all, increase value.
Rockcote's light and medium-weight exterior claddings have performed well both in New Zealand's climatic conditions and during Canterbury's geological upheavals since September.
Rockcote Systems are highly effective in the refurbishment of existing homes to update style and restore weathertightness, longevity and property value.
Regardless of your home's original structure, there's a cladding system to suit, says Mr Olds. Homes with weatherboards, fibre-cement sheeting, brick or concrete block can be refurbished quickly and easily and given a dramatic facelift.
Rockcote's Insulating EPS cavity plus Render System offers lightweight cladding, stylish durability and the dual advantages of low maintenance and increased thermal insulation.
"Our weathertight cavity-based construction methods provide a vented and drained cavity behind the cladding layer, that allows any incidental moisture to escape to the outside," says Mr Olds.
All Rockcote systems are available with premium pre-coloured or mineral finishing coats. Colours can be selected from the Resene Total Colour System and there are also many different texture options available to suit individual preference and architectural style.
