Product Description

Scope of use

Limitations on use of building product

• 3D Ceiling Tile is not designed to support any backloading. All loads must be independently supported or transferred to the grid.

• 3D Ceiling Tile 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 Ceiling Tile does not improve the fire performance of timber linings such as plywood and particleboard 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 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

  Refer to the independent testing for environmental certifications found on the product data sheet: - Declare Red List free- EPD - Global Green Tag - see certification.

Notes
