Installation Sequence
Cortex has made a big deal about bringing you the best paint finish because it is the primary weather barrier and the first thing you see on your home. Our Advanced Coating System (ACS) provides extended durability, whilst our installation system provides protection that exceeds any wind rated area in New Zealand, in fact our testing has proven that it is stronger than a typical house frame!
