At Platinum Timber & Ply, we take pride in supplying products that redefine the standards of construction. As the exclusive supplier of ClimateLine pre-finished plasterboard panels, we are thrilled to bring this innovative solution to commercial and residential projects across the region. ClimateLine has transformed construction efficiency, aesthetic appeal, and functional versatility, making it the preferred choice for developers, architects, and contractors seeking both style and substance.

Efficiency and Modernisation with ClimateLine 

ClimateLine plasterboard panels are designed to simplify and speed up construction projects of all scales. These pre-finished panels come fully pre-painted and pre-colored, allowing them to seamlessly integrate into both residential and commercial settings without requiring additional finishing work on-site. This has proven incredibly valuable in fast-paced projects or in areas where dust, drying time, and extensive labor would otherwise complicate the process. For commercial settings, in particular, the savings in time and labor contribute directly to a quicker project turnover, reduced costs, and enhanced client satisfaction. By eliminating the need for sanding, painting, and even some types of joint finishing, ClimateLine reduces potential delays in construction.

ClimateLine in Action: The ELIM Christian Centre Project 

A stellar example of ClimateLine’s impact is the construction of the ELIM Christian Centre in Pukekohe, where an old factory was transformed into a dynamic, modern church space complete with a 350-person auditorium and multiple breakout rooms. With high ceilings and walls spanning six meters in height and 20 meters in length, traditional plastering and painting would have required extensive labour, time, and precision. Instead, the ELIM team chose ClimateLine’s 10mm pre-finished plasterboard panels, powder-coated in a Black matte finish, which provided the desired modern, sleek look and enhanced the space’s lighting control.

“The high walls would have been extremely challenging to finish with ordinary plaster and paint,” explained ELIM’s Project Manager, Bill Kathagen. “ClimateLine was ideal for the task, giving us the modern finish we wanted and simplifying the entire process.” With matching Slimline joiners, ClimateLine brought cohesion and polish to the expansive space without the logistical challenges and extended labour hours typically involved. 

Flexibility for Diverse Applications 

ClimateLine isn’t just for grand-scale transformations; it adapts seamlessly to projects of varying sizes and requirements, offering both structural integrity and visual appeal. From creating striking feature walls in commercial offices to refining residential interiors, ClimateLine’s flexibility is unmatched. Our product’s powder-coated surfaces come in various finishes, allowing clients to choose custom colors that reflect their branding or desired ambiance. The ability to custom color ClimateLine panels was another essential factor in the Rayonier office refurbishment, where ClimateLine’s knife-edge hinging system provided the contrasting finish they were after without the need for additional details or custom wood finishes. 

In both residential and commercial settings, ClimateLine contributes to a reduction in time-intensive onsite tasks. This efficiency becomes especially beneficial in projects with tight schedules or those conducted in high-tech or sensitive environments. Commercial projects such as these call for a solution that minimises dust, paint fumes, and noise—potential hazards to delicate office equipment and detrimental to employee productivity. ClimateLine’s pre-finished surfaces mean no sanding, stopping, or onsite painting is necessary, ensuring a cleaner, faster installation. 

Benefits of ClimateLine in Residential and Commercial Construction 

1. Streamlined Construction Process: With ClimateLine, labour-intensive steps such as sanding, painting, and joint finishing are minimized, allowing for faster, more efficient project completion. This is especially advantageous in commercial projects that need to be completed swiftly to avoid disrupting business operations. 
2. High Durability and Aesthetic Appeal: ClimateLine panels are available in a range of colours and finishes, ensuring a clean, modern look while withstanding the rigours of high-traffic environments. Their durable, powder-coated surfaces are scratch-resistant and maintain their appearance over time. 
3. Dust-Free and Low-Noise Installation: For environments like offices or healthcare facilities, where cleanliness and noise reduction are paramount, ClimateLine’s pre-finished panels offer a dust-free, low-noise alternative to traditional plaster and paint. 
4. Customizable Finishes: ClimateLine’s panels can be powder-coated in a variety of finishes to match corporate branding or desired colour schemes, as demonstrated in the Rayonier office project. The range of options allows clients to achieve a polished, cohesive look with ease. 
5. Adaptability Across Project Types: ClimateLine’s applications extend beyond large commercial spaces to include smaller residential renovations, multi-unit developments, and even modular construction. Its versatile design means it can meet the diverse needs of builders and developers across sectors. 

A Sustainable Choice 

Beyond aesthetics and practicality, ClimateLine also contributes to sustainable construction practices. By eliminating additional finishing processes and reducing onsite waste, ClimateLine helps cut down on material usage, emissions, and time. With fewer steps needed to achieve a polished finish, construction projects can reduce their carbon footprint, supporting a more sustainable building process that aligns with modern industry standards.
