Architectural Coatings & Premium Surface Finishes, Curated for New Zealand
The Finish is a New Zealand–based importer and distributor of premium architectural coatings and surface finishes, representing two of the world’s leading brands: Cemher microcement and Novacolor Venetian plaster.
Our story begins with a simple idea, that surfaces should do more than cover space.
They should elevate it.
A Global Search for Better Surfaces
We travelled, researched, tested, and challenged industry norms to find architectural finishes that could truly perform in New Zealand conditions - from coastal homes and high-humidity bathrooms to demanding commercial environments.
Every brand we represent has been selected for:
Proven performance and durability
Material integrity and innovation
Design relevance and timeless appeal
Suitability for New Zealand’s climate and building standards
We don’t chase trends. We curate finishes that stand the test of time - technically and aesthetically.
Partnering with the Design Community
We work closely with:
Architects
Interior designers
Builders and specialist applicators
Visionary homeowners and clients
Whether supporting early-stage design intent or final material specification, we provide guidance, samples, technical documentation, and hands-on expertise to help projects succeed.
Our approach is collaborative, informed, and detail-driven - because great surfaces demand considered decisions.
Designed for Longevity
At the core of The Finish is a belief in longevity over excess.
We champion finishes that:
Age gracefully
Reduce unnecessary demolition
Prioritise craftsmanship and performance
Offer enduring value beyond trend cycles
Luxury, to us, is not about surface appearance alone - it’s about how a finish performs, endures, and enriches daily life.
