Solid solution

Whatever cladding system you decide to use, the reputations of both the product and the company supplying it are worth investigating.

When residential builder Daryl Hewitt of DJ Hewitt Builders was looking to build a new home for his family, he drew on his own experience in the cladding selection. Exterior walls, balconies and perimeter fencing are all built using Rockcote LiteRock Solid Render and the Rockcote Masonry Finishing System.

Rockcote is a complete exterior plaster cladding solution that is applied by qualified, registered plasterers. It is covered by Rockcote Systems' 15-year performance guarantee and five-year workmanship guarantee.

Hewitt says as a builder, he regularly uses the Rockcote plaster system and believes it is a well-respected brand and a good product.

"I chose it this time as a result of my own experiences with it. Rockcote provides builders with good on-site, technical advice and a back-up support service as well," he says.

DJ Hewitt Builders undertakes new home building projects as well as renovations. To ensure the best possible results, the company likes to work with homeowners, architects and designers from the point of choosing the site, right though the planning stages. The company can provide full project management if required.
