Nearnung Primary School is one of six schools designed by ARM Architecture for the Victorian School Building Authority, each needing bright, colourful facades that bring energy and character to their learningenvironments.
ECOTONE's accredited applicators applied a custom coating to the cladding within the factory prior to installation onsite, achieving vivid, durable colour across the facade in a fully controlled environment. This prefabricated approach delivered a cost effective solution for the client, reducing poor weather delays, material wastage and the need for expensive access hire equipmentonsite.
The result is a bright, colourful facade that brings personality to the school while proving an efficient, sustainable approach to large scale coatingprojects.

The ECOTONE Matt and Sharp coatings that we applied in the factory truly brought the colourful design to life. It’s such an honour to be a part of a project that will provide a vibrant and engaging learning environment for so manychildren.

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.
