The design brief for the restrooms and public space at Hoyts Metro Cinema in downtown Hamilton, was to create a striking cinema environment based on an industrial, underground train station theme.

Resco’s 5000 series Compact Laminate toilet cubicle system was installed at Metro and offered a number of advantages.

The 5000’s uncluttered lines and rebated doors provided a good looking, functional, economical and durable solution. “Because we only use rugged, solid core Compact Laminate, our panels are an ideal choice for any high-use and abuse situation such as the Metro by Hoyts Cinema," explains Resco product specialist Troy Henriques.

“We supply a range of products with New Zealand’s largest choice of colours, including some the Hoyts design team particularly liked, which we confidently back with lengthy guarantees,” Troy adds.

Resco’s pre-finished panels are water, impact and graffiti resistant and extremely low maintenance. Furthermore all Resco panels contain Antibac, an innovative new bacteria-repelling compound that kills 99 percent of bacteria within two hours, over the lifetime of the panel. This has made Resco’s Compact Laminate products a popular choice throughout New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.

“We are a solutions company with a focus on helping architects and builders create superior spaces, and there is no doubt Metro by Hoyts Cinema is in that category,” Troy says.

Hoyts General Manager Matthew Garelli agrees. "The result at the Metro is something we are very, very happy with – there’s nothing else like it in New Zealand."
