The Harrington Collection's design draws inspiration from the history of The Rocks and Sydney's harbour setting, calling for a coating finish that honoured this heritage context while meeting the architect's exactspecification.
ECOTONE worked closely with the design team to apply a custom coating to the external precast concrete elements, matched precisely to the architect's chosen tone. The finish was then overcoated with a clear protective sealer, giving the surface excellent sealing properties and carbonation resistance while preserving the coating's appearance and glosslevel.
The result is a truly considered facade finish that reflects the site's heritage character, combining striking architectural colour with long term surfaceprotection.

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.

ECOTONE coatings are compatible with a wide range of building materials such as concrete, brick, block, mortar, fibre cement andplasterboard. Each substrate needs the right preparation and, where required, a suitable primer. Technical data sheets and other resources are available to help select the correct ECOTONE products for yourproject.
Sustainability at ECOTONE is driven by how surfaces are designed, applied and maintained over time. Our coating systems reduce material use, extend building life and minimise environmental impact across the builtenvironment.
