The Group 1 Fire Performance Solution for Timber in Commercial Interiors

Meeting NZBC requirements for interior linings in high-risk commercial interiors can be a tricky and costly exercise when using timber finishes. These interior fire regulations have changed the ways in which timber is used as linings and ceilings in most types of buildings in New Zealand. The effect of the changes has been to reduce the number of locations where exposed wood surfaces can be used in new buildings.

Innowood offers a cost-effective solution to this issue while maintaining design integrity. Innowood is a sustainable wood composite cladding made predominantly of natural wood waste that is 100% recyclable at end of life. Innowood ceiling systems are an ideal alternative to natural timber — providing a lightweight, durable option that not only meets fire and acoustic requirements but also delivers a distinct architectural look.

Innowood has been increasingly used as an alternative to real timber due to the ability to build in various levels of fire performance. Over the past few years, The Building Agency have supplied a number of projects to meet the Material Group Numbers 1-S or 2-S.

The inclusion of the fire retardant in the extrusion process means there is minimal change to the finished look of the wood. Not only that but as it is not a surface coating, it cannot delaminate in the future.

As Innowood is up to 70% real wood it will provide the natural beauty and variation of timber.

Ceiling System utilises a stainless-steel clip attached to each profile and screws into the ceiling substrate without exposed fixings. The system is easy to install and delivers consistent shadow lines between the boards for a smart uniform look.

Secret Fixed Shiplap:

Innowood shiplap ceiling system is based on a traditional tongue and groove design, the Shiplap Ceiling System creates a clean finish with uniform joints but without any visible fixings.

Suspended Click-On System

Ceiling System works on the principle of clipping the InnoCeil profile onto its suspended carrier to secure it in the desired position. This system is available in different sizes and span centres to suit most design requirements. The Aluminium Carrier is available in 60 and 130mm centres. The lightweight suspended Click-On system is perfect for areas where structural loads are critical. The Click-On system makes it easy to install and replace battens.

- In all corrosion zones where the fixings are selected in accordance with NZS 3604:2011
- On buildings 1m or more from the relevant boundary
Buildings:
- On timber or lightweight steel framing that complies with the building code or where the designer and/or installer have established that the building is suitable for the intended building work
