Making an impression: A guide to Resene Construction Systems’ plaster cladding and interior finishing

Bring sophistication and elegance to your home, without losing durability. Resene Construction Systems.
Built to last

Through the years the technology for exterior structures and systems for cladding have evolved. These developments have resulted in advancements in everything from design to construction to the performance of products and craftsmanship.

Since the past 15 years, external plaster facades as well as claddings have had to be erected on the cavity. The method of construction using cavities gives durability in case moisture comes through the exterior surface.

Utilized by the top builders

Resene Construction Systems’ facades require a registered builder to install them, which ensures reliability and accountability to the contractor that has installed the system. Resene Construction Systems also provides its own Onsite Quality Assurance program, which gives you the assurance that the high-quality finish has been properly applied.

Styles to pick from:

The choice of an exterior plaster facade isn’t easy and that’s why Resene Construction Systems can provide you with three options: INTEGRA AC lightweight concrete and XTHERM Insulated façade or Plaster over brick or Masonry block.

INTEGRA AAC lightweight concrete façade

To create an industrial concrete appearance on the exterior of your home, you can try AAC (Autoclaved Aerated Concrete). This method makes use of a lightweight concrete panel that is anchored to a cavity and includes the application of applied coatings that are hand-applied, and coatings for finishing in Resene color. This system offers resistance to impact as well as acoustic advantages and the feel of solid wood even though it’s set to the timber framing.

XTHERM Insulated Facade

Imagine this as an outsulation’. The energy-efficient XTHERM Insulated Fabric offers a complete thermal envelope, with blue high-density Styrene panel that shields the structure and people inside from the elements that mother nature can throw at it. If you’re in search of more thermal performance to keep your cool in the summer, and warm in winter, this is the ideal system for you. Insulating the exterior wall ensures that there are no thermal breaks’ compared to in-wall insulation, resulting in a home that is warmer and dryer. XTHERM blue offers a comprehensive system that includes hand-applied modified coatings, complete surface fiberglass reinforcement, adorned with the choice of textures available from ROCKCOTE and Plaster Systems all finished with Resene coatings in your preferred Resene colors.

The complete solution

XTHERM as well as INTEGRA system for plaster façades provide complete solutions for supply and installation. After the framing, building underlay and windows have been installed and registered, the professional will finish the installation right up to Resene colour-coated coatings for the finish.

This saves time as well as cost, and homeowners will receive complete product support throughout the lifetime of the installation. Resene Construction Systems works alongside BRANZ (Building Research Association of Auckland) and has been awarded approvals for their external facades, and have also passed strict weathertight tests as well as testing of high-performance. Resene Construction Systems also have an extensive selection of Artisan interior finishes that are made from natural materials of rockcote plaster system in Auckland.
