Switching over from blueboard with render to Hardie™️ Brushed Concrete Cladding in this multi-residential project was an easy choice, and CKON Constructions couldn’t be happier with the results.
We spoke to Bret Stafford, Construction Manager at CKON, who is managing this 28 townhouse development in Mulgrave in Melbourne. Bret shared what he sees as the benefits of switching to Brushed Concrete Cladding on this project in this short video.
Key takeaways from this case study
Striking modern façade: CKON could achieve the quality, modern finish the architect was looking for without the need for rendering on the second storey.
Texture that pops: They love that the finish is reminiscent of brushed concrete and adds unique interest and texture in this project.
Time and money saved: Brushed Concrete Cladding was quickly and easily installed by CKON’s carpenters, scaffolding was needed for less time, and on-wall costs were reduced overall compared to blueboard with render.
Less trades, simple application: Carpenters could simply baton or direct stick onto the frames for great results, reducing the need for specialist trades.
Pre-primed and ready to paint: No need for preparation or filling of any nail holes, the painters just came along and painted it – happy days.
Durable in harsh conditions: As a Hardie™️ fibre cement product with a 25-year guarantee, the Brushed Concrete Cladding was chosen by CKON for its ability to stay looking like new for many years to come.
