After Another Location?

Home Addition in Manurewa

• This home addition required a brick to be sourced that was a 90 series ( 90mm high) to keep the gauge of brickwork on the new to match existing.
• The homeowners contacted Nawkaw when they could not find a matching brick.
• Nawkaw reccomended the best match for size and texture even though the colours were not close.
• Nawkaw then custom blended the colours of the new brick faces to match the old to give a great match that is guaranteed for 25 years. 

Apex Car Rental Building, Auckland Airport

• In this project there was a fault in the manufacture of the architectural precast panels installed as the facade on the building.
• Some of the panels did not have the correct amount of black oxide cast in the panel. These exposed aggregate finished panels had a white aggregate, and the panels without the black oxide were too light and unsightly.
• Nawkaw was contacted to solve this appearance problem.
• By custom blending the concrete matrix with a dark penetrating emulsion , and also keeping the aggregate clean , the problem was solved.

New Houses in Pukekohe , Albany & Christchurch

• Nawkaw was contacted to solve the colour problem on this new brickwork. By custom blending their  proprietary masonry stains and applying these to the mismatching brick faces, the appearance was corrected.

Concrete Blocks Repair

• Blocks Project at Tauranga Intermediate Schools. 

Coloured Architectural Masonry for Auckland Hospital

• The Auckland hospital required an additional 200 concrete masonry blocks to add to the existing building. When they attempted to source these cream architectural smooth blocks they were disappointed to find that the factory had closed that made these in the past.
• The building contractor knew of Nawkaw's ability to change the surface colour of brick and block, and contacted them to solve this problem.
• Nawkaw took standard grey smooth block and coloured the surface of 200 blocks to match the existing cream architectural blocks in the hospital building.
• Colour problem solved!

New Home with Mis-Matching Mortar.

• When the brickwork was finished on these new homes it was evident that the mortar colour had varied during construction.
• Rather than pull down the brickwork and replace it , the builder decided to take a cost effective alternative to correct the colour variation.
• Nawkaw custom blended some of their masonry and concrete stains to a formulation and applied it by hand to the mortar surface only, resulting in a colour shift of the mortar surface.
• The result was the mortar colour variation could not be found afterwards, problem solved!

Missing Aggregate

• The following projects had missing aggregate across it's center.
• Nawkaw was able to hand-colour the missing aggregate onto the areas.
