Only one New Zealand pre-cladding system combines AS/NZS 4284-tested weather protection with ROCKWOOL Rainscreen to deliver superior building envelope solutions.

Landmark Homes can run its interior fit-out programme independently of the building cladding, using Masons UNI PLUS Flexible Air Barrier.

Every rigid air barrier on the market ships in standard sheet lengths, except one. 

James Hardie was the first to develop and manufacture a specific product for use as a rigid air barrier. RAB Board now sets the benchmark for pre-cladding. Made from Hardie fibre cement board, RAB Board helps create a stiffer building and improve comfort inside.

GIB's Weatherline Rigid Air Barrier system allowed for early close-in for this entry-level housing development in Frankton, fast-tracking interior trades to keep the complex construction programme on schedule. 

How the ENCLOSURE Sheathing System can improve airtightness, moisture management, structural performance, and long-term durability within modern wall assemblies.

While insulation R-values attract much of the attention, reducing thermal bridges through smarter framing and cavity batten selection can significantly improve whole-wall thermal performance.

The Cemintel Rigid Air Barrier can be used independently, or to complement CSR’s complete solutions package for the building envelope achieving E2 and H1 requirements under a single supplier warranty — CSR New Zealand.

As New Zealand buildings become more airtight, managing moisture within the building envelope is increasingly important. Preventing water ingress remains critical, but allowing moisture to dry out of the structure is equally important for long-term durability.

IBS RigidRAP is a CodeMark-certified rigid air barrier and bracing system designed that offers temporary weather protection for up to 90 days.
