Forté Technical Bulletin E3 Installations: Alternative Solution Guidance for Timber Flooring

Product Description

*UPDATED 22 November 2022*

Over the last year, since additional Building Code changes to E3/AS1 came into effect, councils have been pushing back on suppliers and failing their solutions to having wood flooring installed in kitchens and other wet areas of residential and commercial buildings.

We now have a compliance pathway that has been signed off by Auckland Council, for installing wood flooring in;

• Single-dwelling kitchens / Laundries / WCs (Excludes bathrooms)
• Multi-dwelling kitchens / Laundries (Excludes bathrooms and WCs) 

Going forward, to ensure your project gains compliance and to eliminate RFIs from council, please specify within your documentation:

1. “The Forté Timber Overlay Flooring System in accordance with the Forté Design Guide and the Forte Alternative Solution Guidance for Timber Flooring (E3 Installations)”
2. Attach the Forté E3 Alternative Solution Package
