Q: We are looking for an experienced plasterer in Tauranga who will certainly do a good job on our new home. Within budget, we want the very best. Can you help?
A: No problem, we are happy to help. The AllWall team can recommend plenty of certified drywall plasterers. They are the best in the business. Just give us a call on 0800 ALL WALL or click here for a list.
Q: We are planning a building project and would like to have a look at the natural stone you supply. Where can we see this?
A: You can come and visit our showroom in Maleme Street, Tauranga. We have a great range of natural stone on display so you can get a good look and feel of the different styles and products.
Q: My clients love the look of a fine plaster finish, but they are worried about leaking. Due to its location, the house will be quite exposed to the elements. What can you recommend?
A: Much has been said lately about leaky homes and we understand those worries. All our solutions have been thoroughly tested for New Zealand conditions and have been fully BRANZ appraised. We help build homes that are dry, comfortable and made to last.
Q: Where can we get information on general maintenance for Kauri Creek Stone, Schist Wall Cladding or other natural stone? Is it safe to use the water blaster on a build-up of grime?
A: You can use a high power water blaster on natural stone to get rid of tougher dirt, but make sure to not exceed the strength recommended by the manufacturer. AllWall provides a care pack with every solution, which contains all you need to know about maintenance and care for your cladding.
Q: I have heard AllWall sells paint, but I have never heard of Cotec Paints.
A: Coating Technologies was established in 1979 and are 100% New Zealand owned and operated. Their quality paints are designed for maximum value and performance, and main brands are: Cotec, Epotec, Siltec and Aquatec. We highly recommend these paints!
Q: I want to build a fence, can I use EZ Panel?
A: You sure can! We have completed several projects with the 75mm EZ Panel for fencing. The 75mm EZ Panel can be plastered or unplastered, and we also have access to quality trades people to erect the fence if needed. If you would like to know more, just give us a call!
Q: My house was plastered over 10 years ago. Can I have it retextured to a more up to date plaster finish?
A: Yes you can, as long as the substrate is sound and watertight. We can match a finish that you might have seen on a different house, or we have sample boards for you to view in our showroom. You are welcome to visit us!
