Cemintel® Surround

Five neutral ‘ISH’ colours in five textures and a range of 16 secondary colours that provide the flexibility to work with colour in ways that are both idiosyncratic and accessible.

Specs

• The 1200 x 3000 x 8mm prefinished square edge panels come trimmed and sealed.
• Superior weather resistance and strength compared to other fibre cement exterior cladding panels of similar thickness.
• The square edge panels can be installed horizontally or vertically with expressed joints using the ExpressWall® fixing system.
• The applied final sealant coating better withstands weathering, pollution and micoroclimatic conditions such as mould/algae.

Features

• Low maintenance
• No requirement for additional painting costs
• Potential to speed up the construction process
• Large format, lightweight panels are designed to be fixed to top hats which can be fixed to industry standard steel, timber or masonry structural frames
• Cemintel's express jointed fixing system is widely recognised for its high performance
• Cemintel's pressure equalised ventilated cavity system allows for higher wind loads, minimises
• water ingress and allows air flow and drainage
• Choice of fasteners (either exposed head screw or Barestone rivet) allows different aesthetic options
• Suitable for Sea Spray Zones B, C & D
• The unique Barestone rivet with pre-assembled rubber sleeve allows slight movement across the panel thereby reducing the stresses created where panels are installed with 'fixed' points
• Panels are easy to cut for openings e.g. around windows and power boxes
• Durable and weather resistant
• Provides effective protection against wind, rain and temperature extremes, mould and mildew
• Panels will not rot, swell or warp when correctly installed and maintained
• Fire — Type A Classification tested in accordance with Appendix C 7.1 of C/AS2. (Table C1.3 of C/ AS2)

Scope of use

The Cemintel Surround wall cladding system has been assessed for use as an external wall cladding system on buildings:

Within the scope limitations of the New Zealand Building Code (NZBC) Acceptable Solution E2/AS1, Paragraph 1.1 with regards to building height and floor plan area, for buildings situated in Wind Zones up to and including Extra High, as defined in NZS3604:2011, constructed with:

• Timber frame in accordance with NZS 3604:2011; or
• Steel frame in accordance with NZS3404:2009 Part 1 and NASH Standard — Residential and Low-Rise Steel Framing Part 1: Design Criteria:2005; or
• Masonry structures in accordance with NZS4229:2013;

Specifically engineering design in accordance with B1/VM1 and referenced loading standards AS/NZS 1170 and materials standards for:

• Ultimate Limit State (ULS) wind pressure up to 6kpa
• Serviceability Limit State (SLS) wind pressure up to 2.5kpa when installed as a pressure equalised system provided the stiffness of the structural frame limits deflections to span/250 for the serviceability wind loads.

In exposure Zones B, C and D (except microclimates) as defined in NZS3604:2011. except for fixing to Masonry which is limited to zones B & C.

Why Cemintel Surround

Fully tested framing and cladding system for New Zealand conditions.

Colour matched rivets are available to accommodate the differential movement between the building structure and the façade. They also provide a more seamless aesthetic.

Only one rivet type is used for both gliding and fixing points, making panel installation uncomplicated.

Panels have superior weather resistance and strength compared to other fibre cement panels of similar thickness.

Prefinished coating is highly effective in repelling water which significantly reduces the risk of delamination that may occur in freeze/thaw conditions.

Each panel has a final sealant coating applied that will better withstand weathering over time, as well as environmental factors like pollution and microclimatic conditions, such as mould/algae.

Environmentally, the European manufacturing process of air curing means less CO2 emissions. Panels can be recycled for soil conditioning and do not pose a health risk for landfill disposal.
