BRIEF
Unique colour by design to precast concrete followed by self-cleaning functional coating
Material & Application
From photograph to artwork to colour application on precast concrete, our team expertly collaborated with the design team to ensure an accurate and stunning finish. We applied ECOTONE Minsil to achieve this finish within the precast factory. This was followed by an application of our ECOCLEAN Self-Cleaning system for the uncoloured concrete off form precast and our ECOCLEAN Clean and Protect Shield on the precast coloured coated with ECOOTNE Minsil.
Outcome
The massive 11-storey mural to precast was completed within Concretec’s precast factory, using long-life concrete colour coatings to achieve the stunning colour result. The project was completed on time and on budget, despite the challenges of Auckland weather, and was finished with an invisible self-cleaning coating (by Photocat NZ) to protect the mural from organic buildup and graffiti and preserve its stunning appearance. Included within the mural are a number of native New Zealand birds to find. Our team are happy with the final result and proud to have worked on this unique and visually stunning project!
Testimonial
From a big idea to seeing this complete on site has been a fun journey. A wonderful collaboration and we are thrilled with the outcome. This will surely be a playful addition to the building for hotel guests and locals alike. Stop by and try to find all of the hidden birds. Once you find a few you can’t stop yourself from looking for more!
