Exterior Plaster Refurbishment

Plaster cladding like all claddings requires regular maintenance. If left un maintained for long durations or maintained by people who do not understand the intricacies of plaster cladding can lead to severe degradation of the external plaster facade. Where plaster cladding falls into a fairly severe category poor health generally requires significant maintenance, however there is more cost effective options than the knee jerk reaction of simply re-cladding the exterior. What we have found historically is the refurbishment option is over ruled by wanting to recladd as the owner or builder/contractor isn’t aware of the option of refurbishment. Plaster cladding refurbishment falls within schedule one of the building act this is building works that does not require consent. Procladd’s refurbishment option consists of Joinery refurbishment, flashing installation, full acrylic plaster system overlays. This type of system not only ensures your home is water tight but also creates a modern facade resulting in return on investment . This system comes with a tangible warranty that ensure confidence in its solution. Talk to us today about what solutions we can provide to remediate your facade whilst modernising it.

Types of NZ Cladding
We've Dealt With

In New Zealand, plaster cladding is a popular choice for both residential and commercial buildings due to its aesthetic appeal and weather resistance.
The most common types of plaster cladding used in New Zealand include:

Monolithic
Cladding Systems

This system is characterized by a seamless and smooth finish. It typically involves the application of plaster over a solid substrate such as concrete block, brick, or fiber cement board. Monolithic cladding is popular for its modern, clean look.

Exterior Insulation
and Finish Systems (EIFS)

Also known as synthetic stucco, EIFS involves applying a polymer-based exterior plaster over an insulating foam board. This system offers excellent thermal insulation and flexibility in design.

Traditional
Cement Render

This is a mix of cement, sand, and lime applied directly onto the wall surface. It’s known for its durability and can be finished in a variety of textures. It’s often used on masonry walls.

Polymer-modified
Plaster Systems

These are cement-based plasters that have been modified with polymers to enhance their flexibility, adhesion, and water resistance. They are commonly used in modern construction for their enhanced performance characteristics.

Acrylic
Plaster Systems

These use acrylic-based resins and offer a high degree of flexibility and durability. They are often used as a finishing coat over other types of plaster or substrates to provide a weather-resistant and aesthetically pleasing surface.

Stucco
Plaster Systems

This traditional method involves applying multiple layers of cement-based plaster over a wire mesh. Stucco is known for its durability and can be finished in various textures and colors.

Main causes of plaster deterioration in New Zealand.

Plaster deterioration in New Zealand can be attributed to several factors, influenced by both environmental conditions and building practices. Here are the main causes:

1. Moisture Ingress

Moisture penetration is the leading cause of plaster deterioration. This can happen due to:

Poor Weatherproofing: Ineffective sealing of external walls allows rainwater to seep into the plaster.
Condensation: Internal moisture, particularly in poorly ventilated spaces, can cause plaster to deteriorate.
Leaky Buildings: A significant issue in New Zealand, where construction defects from the late 1980s to the mid-2000s led to widespread water ingress problems.

2. Temperature Fluctuations

Extreme temperature changes cause expansion and contraction of building materials, leading to cracks in the plaster. New Zealand’s varied climate, from hot summers to cold winters, exacerbates this issue.

3. Seismic Activity

New Zealand is prone to earthquakes, and even minor seismic activities can cause structural movement, leading to cracking and weakening of plaster.

4. Salt Attack (Efflorescence)

The presence of soluble salts in building materials or groundwater can lead to efflorescence, where salts migrate to the surface and crystallize, causing the plaster to crumble.

5. Poor Application Techniques

Incorrect mixing ratios, inadequate curing times, and improper application methods can compromise plaster integrity. Using substandard materials or not following best practices in plaster application leads to premature failure.

6. Biological Growth

In damp conditions, mold and algae can grow on plaster surfaces, leading to decay and staining. This is especially common in shaded or poorly ventilated areas.

7. Chemical Reactions

Chemical reactions between the plaster and other building materials or pollutants can weaken the plaster. For instance, exposure to industrial pollutants can cause chemical degradation.

8. Mechanical Damage

Physical impacts from furniture, fixtures, or general wear and tear can cause localized damage to plaster surfaces.
