Achieving a pleasant working environment that will hold its aesthetic appearance while allowing for easy updating can be a dilemma for any business.
*Airport exterior
When that business also has to factor in almost incalculable wear and tear, the solution is a product with a proven track record.
In an environment such as Queenstown Airport, ensuring a superior finish that is durable and hard wearing is paramount. It’s also important that staff and visitors don’t feel as if they’re in an institution, says Resene marketing manager Karen Warman.
“For Queenstown Airport a palette of Resene Tea, in full and half strengths, was chosen. With its warm undertones, Resene Tea is ideal for broadwall areas when pure white seems too harsh. Accent colours – Resene Splash, Resene Hot Chile, Resene Merino, and Resene Kashmir Blue – add visual interest.”
Surfaces were coated with Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen, which as well as minimising surface imperfections, also provides the durability of an enamel with the easy clean-up of a waterborne paint.
“Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen also has the benefit of being low odour, which was particularly important in this instance as the airport needed to continue operating during the upgrade,” says Warman.
Other surface finishes include Resene Imperite, used on exterior steel, and Resene Lumbersider, used on cement sheeting.
*Resene Tea was also used on the exterior of the airport. Steel surfaces were coated with Resene Imperite, a high-performance finish particularly suit able for areas susceptible to weather extremes.
