Christchurch Mansion Enclosed with Masons

When Simon from Simon Campbell Construction was undertaking the build of an executive home on Drayton Drive in Mt Pleasant, Christchurch, he knew the use of high performing products was of the essence.

Enclosure

The Drayton Drive home was wrapped in Masons Building Wrap and the joinery openings flashed with Masons 40 Below window flashing tape. When asked why he chose Masons products for the enclosure Simon's response was, "40 Below sticks even in the cold Christchurch winter conditions, without having to waste time with heat guns or primer sprays. 40 Below was recommended to me by other builders after I had other tapes failing on site by not sticking. The tape performed exceptional well and superseded my bituminous tape by 100%."

"It's the peace of mind and time saving aspect that has me converted to 40 Below Tape," he added. "Supporting documentation such as CodeMark documentation, installation guides, warranties etc. to pass council consent were easy to find. And the Masons Account Manager came to site too. I would highly recommend Masons products to specifiers and builders."

Block Veneer

Masons BrickTies were also used on this home to secure the block veneer to the frame. Masons Brick Ties are rated Heavy Duty Earthquake as per AS/NZS 2699 1:200. They are the only CodeMark certified brick ties on the NZ market.
