Until now, architects and designers have hesitated to envelope buildings in black-painted plywood. That has changed with IBuilt's CoreClad Primed, a high-strength pre-primed plywood, engineered for all conditions.
Each veneer layer of CoreClad is ACQ treated and structurally bonded, ensuring it is treated to the core. CoreClad is then primed in a factory using Dulux’s premium acrylic primer. CoreClad Primed is available with or without grooves and in 2440, 2745 and 3050mm lengths.
For a stunning, long-lasting finish with dark colours, it is critical to follow these steps:
- Use CoreClad Primed to ensure correct primer coverage and opacity.
- Use Resene CoolColour or Dulux Weathershield Colourguard and follow the paint manufacturer's instructions.
- Apply three topcoats for better appearance and performance.
- Maintain the paint regularly, as dark colours require more upkeep.
