FAQ

Rockcote Systems questions

What is a Rockcote system?

Rockcote is a New Zealand exterior plaster cladding system: a specified build-up of substrate, reinforced base coats and finish coats that is tested to perform together. Installed correctly, it gives a durable, weathertight, low-maintenance exterior.

What does the 15-year Rockcote guarantee cover?

The Rockcote system guarantee covers the plaster system when it is installed to specification by an approved installer. Ask us for the current guarantee terms and we'll walk you through them with your quote.

Can I choose the texture and colour?

Yes. Rockcote offers a range of finish textures and a wide colour palette. We'll bring samples to the site visit.

Is Rockcote suitable for Canterbury conditions?

Yes. Rockcote systems are designed for New Zealand's climate, including the freeze-thaw cycles, nor'westers and UV we get in Canterbury.
