Schools & Government

As featured in the Architecture NZ magazine, Batten & Cradle Flooring Systems were used in constructing the new headquarter building for crown research institute, SCION. We were proud to be able to contribute to this sustainable building.

Our proprietary flooring systems cater to a range of applications that are especially useful for schools and government projects.
