Home to recognised brands Radioworks, TV3 and Air New Zealand, Natcoll House in Kilmore Street, Christchurch took a leaf out of their books, polishing up its image with an exterior and entranceway refurbishment.

Existing exterior precast concrete panels and columns had been ravaged by the weather leaving the existing acrylic the worse for wear. Resene X-200 weathertight membrane was used to cover surface imperfections while imparting weathertighting benefits. The high build finish is much more forgiving of imperfect surfaces than a standard paint system. The hue of Resene Dune (dark grey ochre) dominates the exterior façade with fresh Resene White on the atrium arch.

The complexity of the painting work meant that the painting contractor needed to use a swinging stage to provide access to much of the area being repainted. With an Environmental Choice approved paint system being applied, building tenants could freely go about their normal business day without annoying paint fumes.
