Feilding clock tower

The clock tower stands proudly in its fresh coating of paint, ready for the next decade of visitor photos and admiration.

The Feilding clock tower once stood on the Post Office until that building had to be demolished following damage caused by a strong earthquake in 1942. Placed into storage, decades later it was finally restored and given a new home in the centre of Feilding’s CBD in late 1999.

Having withstood the elements for a decade, it was well due for a refurbishment. The previously painted plaster is now finished in Resene AquaShield mineral effect finish, selected both for its dead flat finish, which would aesthetically suit the clock tower and enhance its features, and to take advantage of Resene AquaShield’s self-cleaning abilities.

Resene AquaShield is a high mineral content super-hydrophobic, water repellent coating for application on most porous building materials to impart watershedding properties. It combines the water repellent properties of silicones with a special surface microstructure considerably reducing the contact area for water and dirt; dirt particles adhere loosely and are more easily carried away by raindrops, leaving a dry and attractive facade. It’s ideal for highly stressed weather-exposed facades.
