From the Resene News – issue 2/2006

Highlights - Regency House
Looking more like a patchwork quilt due to historical patching and bandaging of cracks than a premium multi-tenanted building, property managers ING NZ sought a fresh paint specification, colour scheme, render and tender from Resene for Regency House in Tauranga.

A combination of water leakage issues and the scars of previous patch repairs over cracks led to the selection of Resene X-200 waterproofing membrane with a high build low sheen finish to help hide the surface imperfections.

Previous colour schemes blended the joinery and windows into the predominant wall colour. In contrast, the fresh scheme carefully accenting these features in Resene Double Tapa (stone grey) complementing the main wall areas in Resene Half Tapa (urban grey), has brought out these previously nondescript features, improving the overall appearance of the building with just a simple change in colour strength.

With the paint system matched by quality workmanship and attention to detail in the application, the outside is now attracting tenants to the inside.
