“In the refurbishment aspects of the Whanganui War Memorial Centre we faced a dilemma in finding sufficient quantities of Rimu veneered ply for wall panelling and ceiling linings for aesthetic and acoustic performance. We appreciated the willingness of the Décortech team to work with us to achieve a realistic finish using stained panels. Several iterations of stain were required to ensure we had the closest match to product originally installed. The end result is that at first glance there is no appreciable difference from the original aesthetic and the building interior stands as it did when originally opened.” – Gerald Cogan Director BSM Group Architects.
