Scope of use
Limitations on use of building product
- 3D Tiles has not been tested as part of a fire rated separation assembly, and therefore does not contribute to and do not affect the fire resistance of fire separations.
- 3D Tiles does not improve the fire performance of timber linings such as plywood and particle board with material Group Numbers worse than 1-S.
- Exposure to humidity levels of above 65% may affect durability of the product.
- Air passing through the product due to high pressure or temperature difference can cause the appearance of soil filtration lines on the product surface. This is not a product fault and can be avoided by minimising high temperature or pressure difference across the product and by keeping the room well-ventilated and free from pollutants.
New Zealand Building Code (NZBC)
The product will, if employed in accordance with the supplier's installation and maintenance requirements, assist with meeting the following provisions of the building code:
- Clause B2 Durability: Performance B2.3.1(c)
When the building is maintained so that the
provisions of NZBC E2 and E3 are met, where the wall tile is not exposed to
conditions to diminish its performance, and the maintenance of the system is in
accordance with the product manufacturers maintenance instructions, the life
expectancy is 5 years for materials.
- Clause C3 Fire affecting areas beyond the fire source: Performance C3.4(a)
Performance C3.4(a)Independent Testing:
Suitable for use on equivalent Group 1S substrates to maintain a Group Rating.
- Clause F2 Hazardous building materials: Performance F2.3.1
