Polished plaster finishes by Ambitec
For more than two decades, Ambitec has stood as a cornerstone in New Zealand’s polished plaster industry, continually enhancing spaces with its pioneering interior finishes range.
Ambitec was founded with the mission of introducing premium, durable and timeless polished plaster finishes to a New Zealand market previously unfamiliar with such innovative options. Today, Ambitec is recognised for both its unparalleled quality and its comprehensive design-led solutions that seamlessly complement any existing architectural material palette. The company’s long-standing relationships with New Zealand architects and designers have been pivotal in cementing its reputation as a leader in innovative and tailored solutions.
Suave, Ambitec’s signature line of polished plaster, is a testament to the company’s dedication to crafting distinctive interior finishes.
Practically, Ambitec offers an end-to-end wraparound service, providing design, supply and installation to commercial and residential clients across New Zealand. This holistic approach ensures that each project is handled with expert care from start to finish, perfectly tailored to meet client specifications and architectural objectives.
Suave, Ambitec’s signature line of polished plaster, is a testament to the company’s dedication to crafting distinctive interior finishes. Suave is available in a diverse palette that ranges from natural white to deep black, in textures varying from silky smooth to robustly distressed, and finishes spanning from low sheen to high gloss. This breadth of options ensures that Suave can enhance any space, whether residential or commercial, not only with its design versatility but also with functional superiority.
Ambitec’s commitment to innovation is illustrated in Seear-Budd Ross’s Upper Watt Street project, where Suave’s two-tone polished plaster in Tilt Slab Light and Illusion – finished with a medium-grade polish – melds the historic elegance of a 1900s home with modern design elements. The plaster’s application across walls and ceilings unites disparate architectural eras, underscoring Ambitec’s expertise in creating spaces that are both cohesive and timeless.
Similarly, Red Beach House by Fraser Horton Design and Juliet Lloyd showcases Suave’s ability to transform a space. Here, the plaster’s shades of Tilt Slab Light and Misty White augment the home’s airy and open atmosphere, providing a subtle yet striking contrast that complements the expansive ocean views. This application of Suave not only enhances the space’s design but also adds a layer of tranquillity to the living environment.
