Lightweight Concrete Facade System Brings Greater Efficiency to Medium Density Homes

When designing exterior facades, it's essential to select materials that meet stringent criteria for durability, weathertightness and fire resistance. The INTEGRA Lightweight Concrete Facade System is an attractive cladding solution that meets all compliance requirements for residential and light commercial buildings while offering excellent efficiency, making it an attractive option for builders and architects alike. 

Lightweight and efficient

One of the most significant benefits of INTEGRA lightweight concrete is its lower density. This reduction in weight allows for easier transportation, handling and install, minimising labour costs and improving efficiency on job sites. Additionally, the lighter material contributes to lower structural loads, which can lead to cost savings in foundation design and construction. 

Durable and weather resistant

Durability is another key advantage. Every detail of the system is designed to endure and protect projects from the elements. From the complete flashing suite through to genuine Rockcote Resene Textures and Paints. INTEGRA lightweight concrete is resistant to cracking and shrinkage, ensuring long-lasting performance in various environmental conditions. The composite lamina of hand applied coatings are reinforced with fibreglass to provide a complete impact and crack resistant finish.

Ideal for standalone homes and medium density housing

The INTEGRA Lightweight Concrete Facade system has been used to great success on New Zealand products for over 14 years, including high end residential homes, medium density housing and retirement villages. 

BRANZ appraised and NZBC compliant

The BRANZ appraised INTEGRA Lightweight Concrete Facade system meets NZBC requirements for B1 Structure, B2 Durability and E2 External Moisture and is backed by a 15-year system guarantee for assured performance. 

A one-supplier solution

The INTEGRA range also includes the INTEGRA Central Barrier Intertenancy System and the INTEGRA Lightweight Concrete Flooring System. By specifying multiple systems from the same supplier, architects can simplify projects, while builders can benefit from the lightweight and efficiency of INTEGRA for floors, intertenancy walls and facades.

Ultimately, the INTEGRA Lightweight Concrete Facade System is an ideal option for any project where a beautiful plastered aesthetic is wanted with no compromise to the durability and structural integrity of the building.
