Ezypanel aerated concrete cladding system

The Ezpanel System is a cavity based autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) panel system which when finished with a layer of fibreglass reinforced polymer modified cement plaster creates a lightweight, highly durable exterior cladding. As well as providing advantages to the exterior envelope by way of increases in impact resistance and performance during fire, Ezpanels will not rot, are pest resistant and have excellent sound insulation properties. The exterior nature of the Ezpanels also places their fantastic insulation characteristics as close a possible to where temperatures fluctuates reducing ongoing energy consumption compared to most conventional exterior wall systems.

AAC products have been produced worldwide for more than 80 years and offer considerable advantages over other construction materials, one of the most important being its very low environmental impact. AAC’s high resource efficiency gives it low environmental impact in all phases of its life cycle, from processing of raw materials to the disposal of AAC waste on site during construction. In the manufacturing process, no pollutants or toxic by-products are produced.

Specialized’s Ezpanel System is guaranteed for 15-years from the date of practical completion
 

Double glazed windows and glass doors

  • Warmer in winter
  • Cooler in summer
  • Conserves energy
  • Saves costly energy bills
  • Replaces thermal drapes
  • Reduces noise
  • Minimal maintenance
  • Improves security

The homes are constructed on the The Firth RibRaft® flooring system

The Firth RibRaft® flooring system is becoming one of NZ's most popular solutions for residential and light commercial flooring. This innovative method of concrete floor construction offers excellent insulation benefits.  

The system uses polystyrene pods, steel reinforcing rods, plastic spacers and RaftMix™ concrete. Each of the components fit simply together, dramatically reducing labour time and costs.

Advantages of RibRaft floor system include:

  • strong, energy-efficient concrete floors 
  • cleaner construction, with far less excavated material and waste
  • The insulation benefits (R Value) of the Ribraft floor provides excellent thermal efficiency. 
  • Increased Strength The raft design offers increased strength and resistance to cracking allowing the system to be built on soils with a minimum bearing pressure bearing pressure of 50kPa.   A reinforced concrete perimeter beam and reinforced concrete ribs over the floor area, results in a slab of immense strength. 

Beautiful Silestone benches

Silestone is naturally beautiful, durable quartz. Silestone is the world's leading natural quartz surface - a superior stone for myriad interior surfacing applications because of its ideal combination of beauty and practicality.

What is natural quartz?

Quartz is one of the hardest, most abundant minerals found in nature - only diamond, sapphire and topaz are harder. Besides beauty, the quartz in Silestone gives it extreme strength, making Silestone highly scratch-resistant.

What are the advantages of Silestone?

Silestone is a dense, non-porous stone that delivers unsurpassed reliability and performance - scratch-resistance and stain-resistance with no sealing required in a large variety of naturally beautiful colors.

How does Silestone compare to other natural stones, like granite?

Silestone offers more color consistency than granite, making it easier to pick colors from samples without having to visit a stone yard. Plus, Silestone is virtually maintenance-free - it doesn’t need to be sealed and cleaning is a cinch.

Can I use Silestone in my kitchen?

Yes. Silestone is ideal for use in kitchen countertops, island tops, backsplashes, and more. You may even purchase knobs, switch plates and handles made of Silestone natural quartz to match your kitchen surfaces.

Can I use Silestone in my bathroom?

Yes. Add beauty and practicality to any bathroom with Silestone vanities, backsplashes, shower walls and tub surrounds.

What makes Silestone “A Cleaner, Safer Countertop”?

Silestone’s non-porous surface protects your countertops from staining and prevents liquids from penetrating the surface.
Silestone is also the only countertop with antimicrobial protection included in every slab. Antimicrobial product protection is built-in during manufacturing to provide continuous antimicrobial product protection.

Does Silestone include a warranty?

Silestone backs all installed countertop projects with (an industry-leading) 10-Year Limited Warranty. Silestone’s warranty covers structural manufacturing defects.
