MaxClad Product Solution:
Christchurch Bus Interchange is a sustainable, state-of- the-art bus facility in the heart of Christchurch. With its bold architecture, this facility is the central anchor point of Christchurch’s public transportation network.
The rain screen cladding features Fibre-C panels in three different surface finishes and cedar planks. Protecting the building envelope is a combination of two products from VaproShield, WrapShield SA Self-Adhered behind the cedar planks and RevealShield SA Self-Adhered behind the Fibre-C panels. Both WRB/Air Barrier products offer high drying capacity to help dry the high moisture absorbing facades and act as an air barrier, block air infiltration, saving energy for the life of the building.
Christchurch Bus Interchange is a New Zealand Green Building Council (NZGBC) rated building.
For over 10 years MaxClad has supplied the New Zealand market with exceptional rainscreen-design components, air & water resistant barriers, exterior facades and substrates, using a systems-based approach that considers every criteria of a project. We believe in challenging the status quo of improper rainscreen design and installation. We know that a holistic approach to rainscreen design is necessary – one that takes into account the entire exterior envelope of the wall assembly.
As a result of this conviction, MaxClad represents a diverse portfolio of terracotta, HPL, GRC/Fibre C, attachment systems, insulation and adhesive-based air barriers that enable us to become a single-source cladding solution for all of your rainscreen design needs.
We have numerous successful projects which stand testament to our products or if you'd like to find out more about us, get in touch.
