Limitations on Use

Curtain systems are intended for internal use only in dry, enclosed environments and should be installed in accordance with manufacturer specifications and track load limits.

They are compatible with standard residential and commercial window joinery (timber, aluminium, and uPVC) and can be integrated with roller blinds, Roman blinds, pelmets, and other internal window furnishing systems.

Performance is dependent on correct fabric selection, including lining type and configuration (e.g. sheer, thermal, block-out, acoustic), and appropriate track selection for the intended load and span. Motorised systems require compatible power supply or battery operation as specified.

Statement of Building Code Compliance

Curtain systems are internal window furnishings intended to support compliance with relevant provisions of the New Zealand Building Code when selected, installed, and maintained in accordance with manufacturer specifications and good installation practice.

  • B2 Durability: Components and fabrics are designed for interior use with an intended service life consistent with normal residential and commercial decorative fittings.
  • F2 Hazardous Building Materials: Materials used in the curtains are intended to comply with NZBC Clause F2 and are not expected to present a health hazard under normal conditions of use.
  • G7 Natural Light: Sheer, light-filtering, and block-out configurations allow control of daylight access and glare within interior spaces.
  • H1 Energy Efficiency: Thermal-lined and block-out curtain systems can assist in reducing heat loss and solar gain through glazing when appropriately specified and installed.

Where fire-retardant fabrics are specified, they are intended to support relevant fire performance requirements for interior linings where applicable. Compliance is subject to correct product selection, installation conditions, and supporting manufacturer documentation.
