Face value
Not all exterior plastering systems are created equal. Resene Construction Systems can offer peace of mind.
External plaster facades are proving a popular option for home cladding. But they vary considerably, not only in terms of the products used, but also the level of workmanship applied by the tradesperson. Resene Construction Systems requires registered building practitioner installation, and only supplies professional licensed and registered contractors. This ensures the accuracy and responsibility of the contractor who has applied the system.
Alongside this, Resene Construction Systems partners with its contractor network and provides its own documented and comprehensive Onsite Quality Assurance programme, which is mandatory for each and every project nationwide.
This Onsite Quality Assurance programme was introduced more than 15 years ago to provide surety of system installation. It’s an innovative approach for clients and the construction sector. This programme sets the benchmark for the industry, giving protection to both the reputation of Resene products and, most importantly, to its clients’ most treasured investment – their home.
Selection of your external plaster facade can be challenging. The three premium options in the Resene Construction Systems range are Integra Lightweight Concrete, Xtherm Insulated Facade, and plaster over masonry block or brick.
Integra Lightweight Concrete is Resene’s most popular system. Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) is a lightweight concrete panel. It is fixed over a cavity, including a full flashing suite, and a lamina of hand- applied coatings is completed, through to the finished Resene colour coats. This system provides impact resistance, acoustic benefits, and has a solid feel even though it is fixed over timber framing.
Xtherm Insulated Facade is an external insulation system that provides a complete thermal envelope with Resene’s exclusive Xtherm high-density insulation panels. Insulating the outside wall face is considered the best location for insulation as there are minimal thermal breaks when compared with in-wall insulation. If you are looking for excellent thermal performance to keep you cool in summer and warm in winter, this system is for you.
Resene’s plaster facade systems are complete supply-and-install solutions. Once the framing, building underlay and windows are installed, your registered plastering professional undertakes the complete system installation, including Resene coloured finish coats. This process saves time and money during the construction process, and provides a full service and support system for the life of the installed system.
