Solid presence

The exterior finish of a house is partly chosen to create a particular style, and equally importantly, to provide the building with a protective, weather-tight cladding.

Rockcote Systems offers a range of premium plaster cladding systems designed to keep your home looking new, even when subjected to New Zealand's harsh climatic conditions, such as salt-laden winds, snow, rain and scorching sun.

Palmerston North architect Colin Duckett chose Rockcote's LiteRock Solid Plaster System for the home featured here, to provide it with a high-impact, durable surface.

Rockcote Systems' general manager, Mike Olds, says Rockcote LiteRock is a composite, cavity-based exterior cladding that is both lightweight and strong. Rockcote LiteRock can be used over a range of substrates including masonry, cement sheet and polystyrene. It is Branz-appraised to comply with the latest New Zealand Building regulations.

"Our modified solid plaster system is hand- plastered, reinforced with mesh and has a weather-protected base, making it a very heavy-duty cladding," he says.

All Rockcote systems are available with pre-coloured finishing coats. Colours can be selected from the Resene Total Colour System, and there are many different texture options available.

To ensure all customers receive a professional service and products are correctly installed, Rockcote Systems only supplies its products and solutions to registered plasterers. Rockcote supports its products with a 15-year performance warranty, with the registered plasterer providing a five-year workmanship guarantee.
