The Integra system is also impact resistant due to the density of each steel wire-reinforced lightweight concrete panel. “This works in the owners’ favour in another way, too – the panels offer significant acoustic benefits, particularly for reducing airborne noise, making the interiors quiet and peaceful, even near the pool,” Olds says. As this project needed to reflect a solid concrete look, the advanced Integra system was finished with Rockcote MultiStop render, burnished, and then protected with Resene MultiShield. Another plus of the Integra system for owners and the design-and-build company is that it uses genuine Resene colours, avoiding the need for any colour matching. “This versatile New Zealand-made cladding system carries our written 15-year performance guarantee, and a five-year workmanship warranty from our registered Rockcote plasterer,” says the company director. Resene Construction Systems is a recently formed division within the Resene Group that offers a wide range of construction products. Rockcote and Plaster Systems (PSL) products both fall under this division. Top and above: The Integra facade works well with the schist stone accents, copper-look spouting and gabled roof forms.
