Desco building
Colour and gloss retention were the deciding factors in architect Guy Natush selecting Resene, from tenders submitted by three major paint manufacturers, for the exterior repaint of the Desco Building in Napier.
Evidence supported Resene's colour durability as performing the best in Napier's ultraviolet light. The offices of Judd Fenwick Natush Architects and home to the Art Deco Society, the Desco Building, was repainted in its original colours to coincide with the World Art Deco conference. The exterior cementitious surfaces were first waterblasted and topcoated in two coats of Resene Hi-Glo.
Architect: Architectural heritage consultant Guy Natush
Painting Contractor: Gunac HB Ltd
