Cordis Hotel, Auckland banner

The ceiling soffits created for the Cordis Hotel Pinnacle Tower extension were coated in Metwood.

Metwood was chosen as it provides the warmth and beauty of wood, but will give a hard wearing and long lasting appearance, that will require minimal ongoing maintenance, and is backed by a 25 year warranty on the base powder coating.

Metwood was applied to Insite Facades folded aluminum panels that were installed on opposing angles to provide contrast and texture which acts to reflect light into the entrance. These panels were also run though the internal ceiling entrance to provide a seamless look from outside to inside.

The Light Tawa finish was carefully chosen from the hundred of available finishes and provides an ideal contrast to the stone walls.

Warranty Available. Metwood is a two stage process of powder coating followed by sublimation.  Through our suppliers, we are able to offer a 25 year warranty on the underlying powder coating from Interpon, and a 10 year warranty on the pattern from Menphis.  Both warranties are subject to the specific terms and conditions of the respective suppliers.

*MetWood sublimates high-definition photographs of actual pieces of timber into a powder coating layer. This means that MetWood sublimated finishes exhibit all the natural variations of colour, grain and blemishes that are seen in real wood. It is possible there will be some shifting in colour over time, however, regardless of the extent of colour change, it won’t change in an ‘unnatural way’ so as to significantly adversely affect the appearance of the surface to which the product has been applied.

# Being a coating, Metwood doesn't alter the fire rating performance of a product, so when used on Aluminium, it can overcome many of the fire related issues associated with traditional wooden products, while providing the look of natural wood.
