A first for Wellington - Tilt slab Wellington residence

Tilt Slab Wellington residenceA three bedroom house is said to be Wellington's first house constructed from insulated pre-cast concrete tilt-up wall panels. Up until now, pre-cast tilt-up wall panels have generally been used only in commercial projects - now new technology allows for their use on a domestic scale.

The panels were constructed on-site by first pouring a 70mm layer of concrete followed by a 40mm layer of polystyrene thermal insulation and a 100mm layer of concrete. This sandwich panel effect was then held together with special tie plugs and finally erected by crane. The panels serve both as the interior and exterior cladding, providing good insulation and a quick and cost-effective method for building.

Resene Sandtex is the perfect surface coating for the panels. It has just enough texture to hide the odd surface imperfection while achieving the look reminiscent of traditional lime washes and stone finishes. With the help of a Resene architectural representative, the owners were able to paint the house themselves using Resene X-200 weathertight membrane, overcoated with Resene Sandtex tinted to Resene Coral using the Resene 8mm High Texture Roller."The end result looks superb", says architect Jon Craig.
