Historic MC Sherry Building
The building, now standing resplendent and well protected in its new exterior wrap, has been proudly returned to the glory of its opening.
The historic MC Sherry Building in Norwich Quay, Lyttelton was showing the signs of age with a paint system ravaged by nature looking worn and weathered, detracting from the understated graceful heritage styling.
An exterior paint system of Resene AquaShield mineral effect finish tinted to Resene Half Gravel (carbon grey) was selected for exterior concrete plaster. A deep flat finish, Resene AquaShield protects the substrate sympathetically minimising the appearance of surface defects and recreating the earthy finishes associated with heritage buildings while simultaneously allowing the subtle architecture features to attract attention and praise.
The flat finish is joined by Resene Enamacryl gloss waterborne enamel on exterior timber windows and Resene Qristal Poly-Gloss clear polyurethane on sheltered exterior doors.
The building, now standing resplendent and well protected in its new exterior wrap, has been proudly returned to the glory of its opening.
