1.1 SUITABLE APPLICATIONS
Utilityclad is not suitable as an exterior cladding where a high level of
visual finish and/or compliance with New Zealand Building Code (NZBC)
Clause E2 External Moisture is required.
Suitable cladding applications include un-lined structures such as:
• Sheds & Barns
• Farm Buildings
• General Utility Buildings
Utilityclad is not suitable for applications such as residential and commercial
cladding which require a higher level of visual finish and/or compliance with
NZBC Clause E2 External Moisture. Where compliance with NZBC Clause
E2 External Moisture is required, CHH Woodproducts recommends the
use of Shadowclad exterior cladding.
Utilityclad must be competently installed in accordance with good building
practices and sound design principles to satisfy the requirements of the
Building Act 2004, the New Zealand Building Code, and applicable New
Zealand Standards. This is the responsibility of building owners and the
design professionals and builders that they engage.
This document contains information, limitations, and cautions regarding
the properties, handling, installation, usage and maintenance of Utilityclad.
