For almost three decades, ECOTONE has redefined what’s possible in architectural surfaces, leading the way in Colour By Design across Australia and New Zealand.
We go beyond conventional coatings. Through our CXD process, we collaborate with architects and builders to create custom finishes that enhance, protect, and transform the built environment—delivering weatherproof, waterproof, and NCC-compliant solutions that push the boundaries of design.
Concrete and cladding are blank canvases with endless possibilities. Our Colour By Design approach allows architects to preserve, protect, or transform these surfaces, achieving finishes that:
By working with your designs, ECOTONE delivers long-lasting, sustainable architectural facades that will WOW you and your client. Our advanced coatings also provide apartment buildings with essential waterproofing and weathering ensuring durability and compliance with NCC standards.
Concrete is a defining element in modern architecture, but exposure to the elements can cause weathering, discolouration, and surface wear over time.
We can provide a complete solution – to preserve raw concrete, restore aging facades or completely transform surfaces to match or contrast other materials on the building.
Achieving monolithic materiality demands precision, innovation and durability.
ECOTONE’s advanced coatings allow architects to create cohesive, seamless surfaces across both interiors and exteriors, ensuring:
From large-scale commercial spaces to high-end residential projects, our solutions blur the lines between interior and exterior, delivering a striking and unified design.
Prefabrication has revolutionised modern construction, offering efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and precision. But what if prefab surfaces could also be custom-designed, weatherproof, and architecturally striking?
Our coatings can be applied off-site in a controlled environment, ensuring:
Prefab panels no longer need to look generic. With ECOTONE, they become an extension of your architectural vision

“This project showcases what can be done to turn grey precast concrete into a naturally looking brick appearance. In our CXD process, ECOTONE Matt and ECOTONE Sharp were identified as the ideal emulsion stains to achieve this stunning Colour By Design result that has transformed our local landscape.”
Megan Branks, MD ECOTONE New Zealand
If your project requires a unique colour or custom finish, our CXD process ensures that virtually any shade or texture is possible.
CXD: A winning approach to architectural finishes.
Building projects are costly, complex, and highly specific—and colour applications play a key role in delivering the final aesthetic and performance.
Through CXD, we collaborate with industry partners early in the process to ensure colour, compliance, and performance align seamlessly.
Our CXD process ensures that every project – whether a high-rise, shopping centre, railway, school, or hospital—meets both creative and functional requirements.
Matching surface colours well is important to us because it has a sustainability story that benefits our customers and our planet.
Our team loves to work with concrete turning what is typically a grey canvas into stunningly sustainable works of structural art that transform our landscape.
You will be amazed at the benefits of our functional and protective coatings with almost magical qualities in the built environment.
