Description

Performance and aesthetics combine in a contemporary aluminium cladding system, designed in New Zealand for local conditions.

The AliClad Max System, designed by The Building Agency, is a premium aluminium weatherboard system that has had every detail and feature designed, tuned and resolved. Backed by decades of local experience and international product knowledge, the AliClad Max System offers architects, builders and developers a robust and beautifully finished product, supported on an easy-to-install fixing system engineered to perform.

New Zealand's tough climate calls for exterior products that can perform in all weather conditions, meet the most stringent code and standards, and bring elegance and architectural integrity.

AliClad Max includes flat and matt powdercoat options, anodised-look paint finishes, sublimated woodgrains, and horizontal and vertical profile alignments achieve both classic and contemporary designs.

Key Features

Strength — At 2.2mm 6063T5 Aluminium Alloy with a high tensile and rigidity properties, AliClad Max has excellent impact resistance, making it ideal for high-traffic areas such as schools. Improved rigidity over other systems comes from its depth and structure.
Mechanical drainage — With no tapes or sealants, AliClad Max has a true mechanical system drainage for improved weather-tightness.
State-of-the-art coating — A state-of-the-art coating line provides both colour and woodgrain options, with a 20-year guarantee.
Coated in New Zealand — Because it is coated locally, designers can choose from an extensive range of colours and wood finishes, with reduced lead times. Custom and corporate colours are also available
Designed for multi-storey — AliClad Max will soon be verified with a full wall assembly test (BS8414) for buildings over 10m tall.
Flashing System — AliClad’s comprehensive two-piece and multi-function extruded flashing system ensures ease of installation without affecting the aesthetic finish

Scope of Use

The AliClad Max system is designed for very high wind loadings and is designed to be fixed at maximum span distances for reduced project costs. It has been verified with a full wall assembly test (BS8414) for buildings over 10m tall.

At 2.2mm 6063T5 Aluminium Alloy with a high tensile and rigidity properties, AliClad Max has excellent impact resistance, making it ideal for high-traffic areas such as schools. Improved rigidity over other systems comes from its depth and structure.

The AliClad Max System comes with a full assembly kit. It can interface easily with other façade systems, giving designers flexibility. The design of the system also gives builders the option to install the windows either before or after the cladding goes on.

Limitations on Use

Where the building has a building height greater than 10 m and the upper floors contain sleeping uses or other property, the specification of the external wall must be in accordance with the BS 8414 and BR 135 tested assembly. Refer to BRANZ FF13923-02-1-C1, BR 135
A drained and ventilated cavity is mandatory unless the building is unlined or Importance Level 1 (as defined in AS/NZS 1170). A flexible or rigid building underlay and fixings must meet the performance characteristics in Table 23, E2/AS1.
The building must have a risk score of less than or equal to 20 when evaluated against the E2/AS1 risk matrix. Where the risk score exceeds 20, specific design and detailing for structure and weather-tightness is required.
Where the external wall is within 1m of the relevant boundary, the specification of the external wall must be in accordance with the BS8414 and BR135 tested assembly Refer to BRANZ FF13923-02-1-C1, BR 135
A thermal break with an R-value of not less than 0.25 is required when used with lightweight steel framing.
Where adverse microclimatic conditions apply (refer to paragraph 4.2.4 of NZS 3604:2011), contact The Building Agency for technical advice.
The aluminium joinery must comply with NZS 4211.
