Grand old lady

Acton House

The classic beauty and unabashed spaciousness of Acton House in Back Ormond Road, Gisborne has been celebrated with a full exterior repaint in a fitting colour palette chosen by its new owners.

The classic beauty of Acton House has been enhanced with Resene paints

The existing coating was in poor condition and necessitated months of tedious preparation, primarily focused on the stripping of the old paintwork back to bare substrate to provide a suitably sound substrate for the new paint system.

Once readied, the exterior was upgraded with a paint system of Resene Hi-Glo gloss acrylic on main weatherboard areas complemented by Resene Enamacryl gloss waterborne enamel on trims and joinery for a clean fresh appearance and easy maintenance. The lower sheen Resene Lumbersider satin acrylic was applied to decking reducing reflection off the horizontal surface without sacrificing durability on such well traversed areas.

Resene Deep Clean has been applied to the well weathered tile roof to slough old algae, lichen and the like. Designed for general maintenance of exterior weathered surfaces, Resene Deep Clean is a slow release cleaning agent. This application is slowly working in combination with nature to rejuvenate the roof's appearance. When the process is complete, the revived roof will perfectly cap off the new exterior.
