What began as a small scale brief, applying a specified charcoal finish to grey ribbed precast and select flat panels, quickly expanded as the client saw the quality of the work firsthand. Following a successful onsite sample, the scope grew to include the soffits, additional precast elements and in situ concretesurfaces.
ECOTONE applied a consistent, durable coating onsite across all surfaces, maintaining safety, flexibility and program alignment even as additional areas were brought into scope. The result is aesthetic consistency and long term durability, key to supporting the N81 Technical Annex Building's role in environmental research andteaching.
The finished facade delivers a cohesive architectural finish that met the expectations of all stakeholders, contributing to the successful delivery of this technically driven, future focusedfacility.

Our experience with ECOTONE was verypositive.
During the tendering and negotiation stage, we found ECOTONE to be very approachable and open to alldiscussions.
The final product and colour as well as the subsequent sample approval process was easy and helped both our client and Badge to confirm the specification for the project. ECOTONE approached the delivery with a great professional can do attitude. Of particularly mention was the set up and ongoing safety on site. They worked closely with the site team to stay on track and complete their works as programmed. Even with additional areas added at a later date. We are very happy with the results and would use ECOTONEagain.

Standard paint is a surface-level decorative layer. ECOTONE coatings are multi-layered systems that penetrate and bond with the substrate, delivering deeper texture, stronger adhesion, and long-term durability. Designed for harsh conditions, they offer advanced protection and can last up to 25 years when properlyapplied.
ECOTONE coating systems are specified for application by approved applicators trained in our products and processes, ensuring consistent quality and eligibility for the 25-yearwarranty. Many projects are delivered as custom building finishes, with ECOTONE working directly with architects, builders, and precast partners to achieve the design intent.
