From single dwellings to multi residential towers, Dulux Powder Coatings provide you with the confidence and quality that will make it all worthwhile.
Residential projects can range from single dwelling homes through to multi-residential units, apartments, flats, and townhouses. It is important to define your project correctly to ensure the correct product is specified and the performance and warranty is able to be gained for your project.
To help in this process we utilise:
1. The building classifications under the New Zealand Building Code.
2. Industry standards for powder coatings
The following tables detail the NZBC classes, building examples in those classes, and the industry standards that a product should meet to be suitable.
Use this information as a guide to identifying your project and the choice of product that you have, including exterior and interior applications.
• Alumi Shield and Steel Shield warranties are available when applied by a Dulux Accredited Powder Coater to the warranty specification on recommended project types and conditions
○ Non-warrantable
All Dulux powder products are NOT suitable in strongly acidic or caustic environments so pH must be between 5 and 9.
Please refer to ‘Interior environments close to liquids’ for warranty implications where powder coatings may be in close proximity to liquids.
