Stage 2 of Oceania's Awatere village

Spectrum installed louvres throughout stage 2 of the Awatere Retirement Village in Hamilton, finished in a Metwood Cedar finish.

The Metwood finish was chosen to provide a natural wooden look to soften the appearance, while realising all the benefits of aluminium, including for installation, and on going maintenance.

Metwood was also used throughout the stairwells to provide a hard wearing wooden look, and tying into the external features of the building.

Warranty Available. Metwood is a two stage process of powder coating followed by sublimation. Through our suppliers, we are able to offer a 25 year warranty on the underlying powder coating from Interpon, and a 10 year warranty on the pattern from Menphis. Both warranties are subject to the specific terms and conditions of the respective suppliers. *MetWood sublimates high-definition photographs of actual pieces of timber into a powder coating layer. This means that MetWood sublimated finishes exhibit all the natural variations of colour, grain and blemishes that are seen in real wood. It is possible there will be some shifting in colour over time, however, regardless of the extent of colour change, it won’t change in an ‘unnatural way’ so as to significantly adversely affect the appearance of the surface to which the product has been applied. # Being a coating, Metwood doesn't alter the fire rating performance of a product, so when used on Aluminium, it can overcome many of the fire related issues associated with traditional wooden products, while providing the look of natural wood.For further information please refer to our website or make a direct inquiry.
