Project Description
Climate Surfaces: Powder Coated Panels with Integrated Antimicrobial Technology by BioCote®
Built-In Antimicrobial Protection for Wall & Ceiling Panels
ABOUT CLIMATE SURFACES
Climate Surfaces, based in New Zealand, has been leading innovation in the construction industry since 2001. The company has transformed the way powder coating is used, applying it to non-metallic materials like plasterboard, MDF, and plywood. This approach creates durable, high-quality finishes that offer both strong performance and visual appeal.
Today, their pre-finished wall and ceiling solutions are trusted across Australia and New Zealand, making them a popular choice for residential and commercial projects. Builders, architects, developers, and interior designers depend on Climate Surfaces for their reliability, quality, and ease of use.
With a focus on efficiency, sustainability, and design, Climate Surfaces continues to lead the way in the modern construction industry.
Adding Built-In Hygiene with BioCote®
Climate Surfaces has partnered with BioCote® to add another layer of innovation to their Climateline wall panels and Ecotile ceiling tiles. These pre-finished solutions are designed for high-traffic commercial interiors and off-site construction.
By incorporating BioCote® antimicrobial technology, Climate Surfaces’ panels benefit from built-in protection against bacteria, mould, and fungi. This helps the surfaces stay cleaner for longer, making them ideal for hygiene-conscious environments such as healthcare, education, and food preparation areas.
The antimicrobial technology is embedded during manufacturing, ensuring its effectiveness over time without altering the appearance or finish of the panels. It works silently in the background to maintain cleaner, lower-maintenance surfaces, saving time and effort.
Sustainability and Performance
- Pre-finished and ready to install – No on-site painting or finishing required
- A sustainable choice – VOC-free, non-toxic, recyclable, and eligible for take-back scheme
- Fire-rated – Group 1-s reaction to fire when installed with plasterboard
- Now with antimicrobial protection – Supports cleaner, more durable surfaces in damp, high-touch environments
- Low maintenance – Easy to clean and repair, helping spaces stay fresh and presentable
- Tough and dependable – Resistant to water, steam, and stains, with a 10-year surface guarantee
Innovating with BioCote®
By working with BioCote®, Climate Surfaces has pushed the performance of their coatings even further. The antimicrobial technology is integrated into the surface, continually helping to reduce the presence of microbes, ideal for places like hospitals, kitchens, schools, and other high-traffic areas.
The goal is to provide long-term value for customers, ensuring that what they install not only looks great and lasts but also requires less care and provides extra protection over time.
From healthcare facilities and commercial kitchens to educational buildings and residential developments, surfaces treated with BioCote® technology deliver peace of mind — all without compromising on design or durability.
Why BioCote®?
BioCote® antimicrobial additives are trusted by global manufacturers to enhance surface protection. Integrated during production, the technology actively reduces microbial levels on the surface by up to 99.9%*, supporting lasting product integrity and reducing the build-up of odours, staining, and degradation caused by microbes.
