Exterior Rockcote cladding and fire-rated intertenancy walls

Otago’s climate is hard on buildings. Cracks, leaks or fading show up quickly when corners are cut or materials are not fit for local conditions.

A licensed Rockcote system shields your property from the elements and stands up over time, whether you are building new or maintaining older cladding. Firewall installation and Rockcote cladding are set up to meet all fire and acoustic codes. Each stage is checked and recorded so your project matches Otago’s building rules.

Approved Rockcote systems and techniques are used, drawing on what lasts in local weather, so your property is ready for regular use.

Firewall installation and intertenancy walls that meet fire and sound standards

Apartment and multi-unit projects need more than a plaster layer between units. Fire and acoustic ratings must be achieved before sign-off or occupancy. Rockcote systems are made for these jobs and each install follows the latest standards for Otago.

Rockcote intertenancy wall systems provide:
  1. Materials and installation checked to current fire and sound ratings
  2. Work signed off and documented to match building code
  3. Planning alongside your builder or trades to keep work moving
Once walls are in, sign-off is straightforward. For updates or repairs to existing systems, see plaster repairs and maintenance.

Interior Rockcote finishes and artisan plastering

Rockcote is not just for the outside of buildings. If you want feature walls, entries or unique finishes inside, the same approach works indoors. Surfaces are checked before starting and preparation is matched to your plan.

With interior Rockcote, you get:
  • A full surface check before any new work begins
  • Each step completed in order from base to top coat
  • Choices for smooth or textured looks to suit your style
Finishes instantly add class and elegance to any internal space.

Exterior Rockcote cladding for Otago conditions

Exterior Rockcote cladding stands up to local weather, resisting flaking, leaks and fading. This cladding keeps a uniform appearance and cuts down on ongoing repairs or painting.

Exterior Rockcote cladding works for new builds or renovations. Colours and textures can be customised to your preferences.


Each project includes a 15-year manufacturer guarantee and a five-year guarantee for workmanship. Upkeep is simple – usually cleaning and repainting as needed.

Frequently asked questions for Rockcote Systems

Exterior Rockcote suits most Otago homes and commercial sites, offering weather resistance and a clean finish. A site visit means you see options that suit your building, site and goals.

Installation begins with a site check and a written outline of the plan. Once you confirm the system, every step is carried out in sequence. You will have clear timelines and all documents needed for council and warranty.

Most repairs blend in closely so patches are hard to spot. Texture, colour and depth are matched and each repair is done to avoid repeat problems. For more information, see your exterior plaster repair and maintenance options.

Regular inspections, keeping the base clear, working downpipes and careful washing all help your plaster last. Scheduled repainting and fixing small cracks early stops bigger issues down the line.
