Product Criteria

Installation requirements

Shall not commence until the building is watertight and dry.

Panels lay onto standard T24 grid (with matching tissue finish option), or wider T38 for larger panel sizes.

Light fittings, or other products incorporated into the ceiling panel shall be independently supported. 

It is recommended to use hold-down clips in areas of wind uplift, and install air grilles in the ceiling to balance air pressure differentials. Not to be used for return-air plenums.

Service panel protection - panels are available with a temporary foil covering to protect and keep panels clean during the construction phase.

Soiled or damaged panels can be resurfaced with new laminates for reuse in the ceiling. This helps extend life cycles and reduce construction waste.

Maintenance requirements

Clean panels with a vacuum, soft brush or damp cloth.

Warrantees

Supply a manufacturers 10 year warranty against manufacturing defects, and durability compliance per NZBC B2 of 5 years for accessible tiles .

Company Product Information

Environmental

NZ manufactured / very low embodied energy materials, superior to imported competitor alternatives. Manufactured locally vs. imported. Lower freight energy costs vs. imports. Contain 85% recycled NZ glass waste vs. imported waste. Packaging is from local recycled material and is reused where possible. High insulation ratings help conserve heating and cooling energy costs over the life of the building. Provides local employment in manufacture and distribution.

We offer our clients the service to renovate and recycle old, soiled or lightly damaged panels with new decorative and acoustic laminates (on site or at the factory), thereby extending their service life instead of consigning them to landfill or the cost of total replacement. The objective is to extend product life cycle, lower maintenance costs, reduce wastage to land fill and to lower the environmental impact of acoustical finishes.
