BRANZ Appraisal No 633 [2018]

XTHERM GOLD has been appraised as an external wall cladding system for buildings within the following scope:

• the scope limitations of NZBC Acceptable Solution E2/AS1, Paragraph 1.1; and,
• with a risk score of 0-20, calculated in accordance with NZBC Acceptable Solution E2/AS1, Table 2; and,
• situated in NZS 3604 Wind Zones up to, and including Extra High.

XTHERM GOLD has also been appraised for weathertightness and structural wind loading when used as an external wall cladding system for buildings within the following scope:

• the scope limitations of NZBC Acceptable Solution E2/AS1, Paragraph 1.1; and,
• constructed with timber and steel framing subject to specific engineering design; and,
• situated in specific design wind pressures up to a maximum design differential ultimate limit state (ULS) of 2.5 kPa.

XTHERM GOLD must only be installed on vertical surfaces (except for tops of parapets, sills and balustrades, which must have a minimum 10° slope and be waterproofed in accordance with the Technical Literature)

The system is appraised for use with aluminium window and door joinery that is installed with vertical jambs and horizontal heads and sills. (Note: The Appraisal of Insulated Façade System relies on the joinery meeting the requirements of NZS 4211 for the relevant Wind Zone or wind pressure

In the opinion of BRANZ, Insulated Façade System if designed, used, installed and maintained in accordance with the statements and conditions of Appraisal No. 633 [2018], will meet or contribute to meeting the following provisions of the NZBC:

• Clause B1 STRUCTURE: Performance B1.3.1, B1.3.2 and B1.3.4. Insulated Facade System meets the requirements for loads arising from self-weight, wind, impact and creep [i.e. B1.3.3 (a), (h), (j) and (q)]. See Paragraphs 10.1 - 10.4
• Clause B2 DURABILITY: Performance B2.3.1 (b), 15 years, B2.3.1 (c), 5 years and B2.3.2. Insulated Façade System meets these requirements. See Paragraphs 11.1 and 11.3
• Clause E2 EXTERNAL MOISTURE: Performance E2.3.2. Insulated Façade System meets this requirement. See Paragraphs 16.1 - 16.5
• Clause F2 HAZARDOUS BUILDING MATERIALS: Performance F2.3.1. Insulated Façade System meets this requirement and will not present a health hazard to people

Resene Construction Systems' cavity based insulated facade systems have been installed extensively since 2005. XTHERM GOLD is the latest in high thermal performance plaster facade technology in New Zealand.

High density PIR insulation board providing higher thermal, and impact resistance than standard EPS insulation systems.
