The Cemintel Territory collection by CSR Cemintel, distributed by CSR Building Products NZ, offers an innovative and sustainable alternative to traditional cladding materials such as stone, brick, concrete, metal, and smooth render.
Cemintel Territory was developed in response to a growing demand for high-performance, lightweight materials that enhance both the visual appeal and environmental footprint of buildings. This collection redefines cladding, with finishes that resemble natural materials, providing a stylish, sustainable, and easily-maintained alternative to brick or timber.
The Territory range is CodeMark-certified, ensuring compliance with New Zealand building standards and quality assurance for builders and architects. Made from fibre cement, it offers the beauty of natural materials while eliminating the maintenance associated with timber. A simple wash once a year keeps it looking fresh, without the need for painting or other heavy upkeep, making it an ideal choice for projects focused on longevity and low maintenance.
An example of the product in action is a rental development at Adesanya Close in Palmerston North. Here, developer Femi Adesanya, Director of The Stylebender Limited, selected Cemintel Territory Woodlands for its natural woodgrain look and durability. Femi noted the ease of maintenance as a key benefit, saying, “We only need to wash it once a year—there’s no heavy maintenance like painting for 15 to 20 years.” This low-maintenance cladding solution is particularly suitable for rental properties, where aesthetic appeal and minimal upkeep are essential.
Cemintel Territory brings together aesthetics, sustainability, and durability, offering architects, builders, and certifiers a refined, modern cladding option that reduces environmental impact while standing up to New Zealand’s extreme climatic conditions.
