RAMMED EARTH REVOLUTIONISED
Rammed earth building technology has been revolutionised by the incorporation of a water repellent admixture in the construction process. This thousand year old technique has been transformed into the modern era to produce a viable and durable building medium. This environmentally friendly admixture has revolutionised the way rammed earth is protected against climatic deterioration. When incorporated during the construction of walls the entire earth structure becomes eater repellent for the life of the wall. This technology replaces the old technology of surface sealing post-construction that is messy and expensive.
The landmark structure of TarraWarra Museum of Art, Melbourne, designed by the Melbourne architect, Allan Powell, was designed as an earth sculpture rising from the natural landscape. The utilisation of the Tech-Dry admixture technology has ensured the durability and longevity of the walls and retains their natural appearance.

NO MORE GRAFFITI TESTED BY CSIRO
NO MORE GRAFFITI has been tested by CSIRO and has been approved as complying with APAS specification 1442 (Temporary Graffiti Barrier). Please download a copy of the CSIRO report. NO MORE GRAFFITI is a water based sacrificial coating designed to be sprayed, brushed or rolled onto bare faced masonry walls to provide a clear protective barrier against graffiti. It is UV stable and durable. If the treated wall is graffitied, the graffiti is simply washed off the wall with hot water. Then re-protect the wall with another coat on NO MORE GRAFFITI.
