• For use on residential, commercial, and high-rise buildings
• Located in any wind zone up to and including 'Extra High' (as classified in NZS3604) or where the building is specifically designed to AS/NZS1170 'Structural Design Actions' up to a maximum design wind pressure differential of 2.5kPa (ULS)
• For exposure zones B, C, and D as described in NZS3604
• For all seismic zones

Extra High Wind Zone

• Structure B1.3.1, Frontek façade systems meet the ETAG (European Organisation for Technical Approvals) specifications for ventilated wall claddings. These requirements also satisfy the NZ Building Code for structural performance
• Structure B1.3.2, Frontek façade systems meet the ETAG (European Organisation for Technical Approvals) specifications for ventilated wall claddings. These requirements also satisfy the NZ Building Code for structural performance.
• Structure B1.3.3a, f, h, Performance under seismic loads has been inferred from the results of ETAG tests on the tiles and fixing details, and on assemblies subjected to face loads simulating wind pressures
• Structure B1.3.4, The installation of Frontek façade systems is tolerant of variability of the supporting structure, and is resilient to the failure of any particular component
• Durability B2.3.1b, B2.3.2b All components exceed the required durability of 15 years, and are likely to have service life in excess of 50 years. Tiles are easily removed if access is required to replace fixings
• Fire C3.5, C3.7 The components of the Frontek façade system are non-combustible
• External moisture E2.3.2, The Frontek façade is a ventilated façade that contributes to the management of external moisture. Weathertightness and airtightness is determined by specific construction details of the supporting structure
• Hazardous building materials F2.3.1, None of the components of the Frontek façade system contain or emit harmful materials
