Evidence

The product meets the requirements set out in the following documents, or relevant parts of cited standards within the documents:

Champion Doors are engineered to meet New Zealand Building Code (NZBC) standards across key structural, durability, safety, and environmental provisions. Complying with B1.3.1 and B1.3.2, they are designed to maintain integrity under applied loads without excessive deformation. B1.3.3(a) ensures each door can support its own weight, while B1.3.3(h) certified resistance to high wind loads, guaranteeing stability in challenging conditions. For durability (B2.3.1(b)), Champion Doors use long-lasting materials, ensuring performance over a minimum of 15 years. Safety and accessibility are prioritized under D1.3.3(a), with ample operational space to support safe passage. Moisture resistance (E2.3.2) is achieved through effective weather-sealing, protecting interiors from dampness. The doors do not obstruct airflow, aiding compliance with G4.3.1 for ventilation. Finally, thermal insulation options meet H1.3.1(a), enhancing energy efficiency by reducing heat transfer, making Champion Doors an all-around compliant solution.

Product Criteria

Design requirements

Champion Doors are large-scale vertical lifting fabric fold-up doors designed primarily for industrial and commercial applications, including aircraft hangars, shipyards, and industrial facilities. These doors provide high structural performance and weather resistance, making them suitable for harsh environments. They integrate with building elements like structural frames and external walls and are compatible with large openings requiring wide clearances. Champion Doors are designed to withstand high wind loads, extreme temperatures, and are suitable for various climates.

Installation requirements

Installation must be performed by qualified PENSA technicians experienced in handling large, automated doors. Key steps include aligning the door system with the building’s structural frame, sealing for weather resistance, and ensuring alignment for operational stability. Essential tools include heavy-duty mounting hardware and lifting machinery. Precautions involve verifying structural alignment, ensuring that tracks and motors are calibrated correctly, and conducting safety checks.

Maintenance requirements

PENSA offer comprehensive preventative maintenance agreements to ensure compliance with NZBC Clause B2 (Durability) and long-term performance. These agreements cover regular maintenance to maintain optimal performance and extend the door’s lifespan. Key services include annual inspections of all mechanical and structural components, lubrication of moving parts, and replacement of worn weather seals. Monthly inspections (If required) focus on motor functions, track alignments, and weather seals, with cleaning to prevent material degradation. Quarterly, PENSA inspects seals and insulation for airtightness, while fasteners, mounts, and guardrails are checked for corrosion or loosening to ensure stability. Non-slip flooring and RAL color panels are cleaned and inspected to maintain safety and appearance, with replacements provided as needed. Detailed records of all maintenance activities document compliance and ensure Champion Doors remain durable and secure over time.

Warrantees

PENSA provides a standard two-year warranty covering the door and partition products, as well as the installation services. This warranty ensures that the products function properly and are free from manufacturing or structural defects during this period. 

NOTE: Warrantees are subject to a maintenance agreement being in place upon completion of the installation.
