Welcome to Connectus Architectural Marketing - Christchurch We provide a resource supplying building product information both general, and importantly technical, for specifiers throughout New Zealand. Our service is dedicated to: • The updating and flow of all information to specifiers from our clients within the Building Product supply sector. • The introduction of our clients new products. • Assisting specifiers by organising technical training when requested by a specifier from any of our clients so that the specifier feels confident in specifying the clients products and in so doing helping build rapport between the two parties. • The initiation of contact between manufacturer and specifier whenever called upon to do so. • Quality interactions with specifiers via all mediums be they electronic or personal, the ability to work alongside a team with high end personal relationships at specifier level gained by many decades working alongside them.
The wishes and confidentiality of the specifier will be respected at all times
Sustainability building blocks As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainable building practices, APL has partnered with the New Zealand Green Building Council (NZGBC) as a corporate sponsor. Building more sustainable projects - both commercial and residential - is in the interests of everyone in the building industry. Two measuring systems administered by the Green Building Council are the well-known Green Star rating system for commercial projects and the Homestar rating tool that measures the health, warmth and efficiency of houses and apartments. Commercial window systems feature in many projects which have been Green Star rated. For example, thermallyshielded high-rise glazing systems are part of the APL product portfolio. The Homestar tool assesses the full and final plans from which the home will be built, and then post-construction certification is carried out to confirm implementation. We’re proud to say that our Residential Series, Metro Series and APL Architectural Series Ranges are now ‘Declared’ by the International Living Future Institute. It means we’re being measured by an industryrecognised tool that requires us to be totally transparent about our products. It offers specifiers the tools they need to make fully informed choices when selecting healthier products.

Southland Beech (Nothofagus menziesii) also known as Maple Beech. It steam bends easily, is lightweight and easily worked. It is suitable for all interior applications without the need for treatment. The current supply is from second crop rotation forest with an average age of 75-80 years, the wood has a very consistent lighter colour, similar looking to American Maple. To reflect these characteristics and customer preference, we market this species as Southland Maple Beech. Maple Beech falls under the general classification of a medium density hardwood. Uniformity of density within and between logs is an outstanding feature of the Southland resource. once fully seasoned, Southland Beech is extremely stable, and less prone to tension wood, split, warp or collapse than other hardwoods. Beech machines well, with minimal sanding needed to achieve a high quality finish, and also stains, polishes, paints and glues well. Naturally resistant to borer, New Zealand beeches also provide an attractive option for consumers seeking a chemical free environment.
ModWood is designed with the end user in mind - there is no need for any staining, oiling or painting. ModWood will not twist, warp, splinter or split under normal outside conditions. ModWood is the only WPC formulated and manufactured ‘Down Under” to cope with NZ’s harsh environment and extreme UV conditions. Why would you choose anything else?
