Thanks to Plascon’s 360° Partnership Pledge, developers on large projects can benefit from Plascon experts paying regular site visits to track progress and workmanship, providing comprehensive reports, and issuing a quality assurance guarantee once the project is completed.

The Plascon 360° Partnership Pledge is a joint quality assurance by Plascon for the coating system and the Plascon Preferred Applicator for workmanship. “We’re involved from inception to completion, making sure the right coating system is specified according to the environment and condition of the building substrates,” explains Plascon Professional Market Manager, Carol Ras. Plascon also assists with colour renderings, wet samples and A4 brushouts to make colour selection easier.

A recent example of the success of the Plascon 360° Partnership Pledge is the Capital 20 West building in Sandton, for which three companies, Project Lab, Pivot Painting & Renovation Solutions, and Kansai Plascon, were commissioned to undertake the complex task of resurfacing and repainting. The client was looking to move away from the building’s stone-textured finish, so Plascon Professional Plaster & Gypsum Primer PP700 was used to promote adhesion as well as seal the entire surface. The product had to be expertly applied to ensure maximum coverage of the stone-textured substrate with its deep valleys and pits – a challenge that was overcome with ease by the highly skilled team at Pivot Painting & Renovation Solutions. They then applied Professional Superior Low-Sheen (PEM1000/TLS) as a topcoat, which gives a smooth, non-porous finish that dries quickly and has non-yellowing properties, and offers good washability and stain resistance.

Plascon and Third-Party assessor Project Lab undertook site visits as part of its joint supervision programme, and was on hand when compiling the snag list and for the final site inspection. This joint supervision relationship ensured the project was ultimately awarded a Kansai Plascon quality assurance guarantee, covering both product and application.

Pivot Painting & Renovation Solutions described Plascon’s unique hand-in-glove approach as an excellent mechanism to ensure the best product was specified and manufactured, and the most professional team appointed to implement the solution.

To take advantage of the benefits of the Plascon 360° Partnership Pledge, the value of the paint value needs to exceed R250 000 in total, and the contractor needs to be a Plascon Preferred Applicator. An optional annual maintenance programme for the specified coating’s life cycle is available.
