Great work team!

Chem-Supply engaged us to provide a modern, European-style warehouse floor using our industrial Mirafloor process as an alternative to surfacing the floor in epoxy. The results, as always, speak for themselves.

From the moment that we approached Arrunga we felt comfortable with their professional service, and the quality of their work was exceptional. We would not have any reservations in recommending them to others.

Our thanks to the friendly staff and management at both venues!

The $33 million project, designed by Hassell Architects, includes a totally new Adelaide Zoo Gateway with entry, shop, cafe, and convention facilities in a sweeping two-storey building. An estimated one million visitors per year will use the facilities, and inside the Zoo Gateway complex they’ll be walking on a floor by Arrunga Surface Solutions.

The Arrunga team have been hard at work on the Adelaide Zoo project for some time and the results are already stunning. Keep your eye on the Adelaide Zoo website for more information about the new facilities.

The First Home Owners Boost Scheme is an Australian Government initiative to assist first-home buyers purchase or build their first home, and is in addition to the First Home Owner Grant of $7000 and the First Home Bonus Grant of up to $4000.

These financial incentives make the option of building a first home more and more attractive to potential first-home buyers, and more and more home builders are choosing polished concrete as their first home’s floor.

Arrunga Surface Solutions now offers first-home builders an additional boost of up to $1000 dollars.

The floor is a key feature of any building, and polished concrete is an increasingly-popular choice of flooring material in domestic environs as Australian home builders begin recognising the tremendous style and versatility that the material represents.

A polished-concrete floor isn’t just for looks: the high thermal mass of concrete helps keep a home cool in summer and warm in winter, minimising heating and cooling expenses — and drastically reducing the house’s overall carbon footprint. And perhaps more importantly, when the construction materials are as attractive as polished concrete, home-builders don’t need to spend extra time and money on cosmetic flooring layers. Everyone knows that concrete is integral to a building’s construction, but expert polishing and preparation transforms it into an essential element of the visual aesthetic as well.

The combination of the Federal Government’s First Home Owner Grant, First Home Bonus Grant, and First Home Owners Boost Scheme means that first home buyers building a new home or purchasing a newly constructed home may be eligible for a $14,000 boost benefit in addition to the existing $7000 grant, bringing the benefits to $21,000. This added to the potential eligibility for the First Home Bonus Grant may bring the total benefits to $25,000.

This assistance gives Australian first home builders flexibility not only in choosing exactly how their home will be built, but also in how it will look and feel. Arrunga Surface Solutions now makes polished concrete floors even more attractive with an offer specifically designed for first home buyers.

Arrunga Surface Solutions will deduct $10 off the cost per square metre of concrete floor it installs for any new home eligible under the First Home Buyers scheme to a maximum of $1,000. When combined with the government incentives, this means that the builder of a new home may be eligible for up to $26,000 in savings.

Working directly with the architect and builder on the project, Arrunga Surface Solutions operated within demanding project requirements, working literally day and night to meet challenging deadlines.

The Goyder Pavilion was constructed with the environment in mind and the floor is no exception. The meticulously-ground and polished floor isn’t just for looks – the high thermal mass of Arrunga Surface Solutions’ polished concrete helps keep the pavilion cool in summer and warm in winter, minimising heating and cooling requirements and decreasing the facility’s carbon footprint.

“We’ve received very positive feedback, both from our client and from members of the public,” said Arrunga’s Dave Shaughnessy. “We’re very proud of what we have achieved here and we offer our thanks and congratulations to HASSELL and Built Environs on a wonderful South Australian facility.”

“We began discussions with Arrunga Surface Solutions during the design phase of the Goyder Pavilion and Duncan Gallery at the Adelaide Showground, having been positively recommended from recent work completed at the Stirling Library. We found the guidance and professionalism from David Shaughnessy and his team to be of superior quality, and the workmanship and detailing exactly what we as designers were looking for.”
