Whether you’re looking for classic aluminium louvres or an entire house clad in Corten steel, Rivet will help you achieve your goal.
Commercial Distilleries
Rivet manufacture and install commercial alcohol distilleries and domestic hobby stills up and down New Zealand – from the BeGin distillery (home of the award-winning Juno Gin) in Taranaki to the cartoonish artistic spectacle which is the Hokonui Moonshine Still in Gore.
With experience in hydro-forming spherical vessels and developing exotic metals like brass and copper, stills are a natural centrepiece for Rivet. They provide a company with the skills and inclination to make something special, with a platform to really showcase what they can do.
Corten
Corten is an organic and industrial looking weathering steel; it develops a protective layer of rust which prevents it from deteriorating like traditional mild steel.
Corten is traditionally used for planter boxes, architectural installations, fences, sculptures, letterboxes, signage, garden art and more.
Corten is economically priced and when combined with Rivet’s accelerated or targeted rust process – the possibilities are endless.
Put pencil to paper and let Rivet help make your vision a reality.
