Papanui High School in Christchurch has undergone a striking upgrade featuring Trespa Panels installed with our Profix PXF cladding system, delivering a combination of durability, aesthetics, and compliance. Installed by Switched On Building Solutions, this project highlights how our innovative facade solutions support modern architectural design while meeting New Zealand’s stringent building standards.

“Trespa cladding in New Zealand aligns seamlessly with the country's established cladding practices. This compatibility means carpenters require minimal training to install the system efficiently. The material’s exceptional durability is one of its standout features; it resists cracking and breaking, making it ideal for high-traffic areas. This reliability enhances building longevity and provides architects with peace of mind. Trespa’s availability in large master sheets also enables greater creative freedom for designers. They can experiment with innovative layouts and striking aesthetics with minimal size limitations. Having served as a trusted Trespa installer for several years, we are committed to every project and continue to advocate for the versatility and strength that Trespa brings to modern architecture.” – Mehdi Shayeghpour, Senior QS Switched On Building Solutions
