General

Building Code Compliance

If the project has a building consent then the following clauses apply.

B2 – Durability

This specification complies with the requirements as set out in B2 – Durability which must always be considered when demonstrating compliance with each of the clauses of the Building Code. It ensures that a building throughout its life will continue to satisfy the performance of the Building Code. It confirms the use of materials that will remain functional throughout the specified intended life of the building, but not less than 50, 15 or 5 years

This system meets the expected durability of the NZBC of at least 5 years

On Going Maintenance Instructions

Provide ongoing maintenance instructions required to meet the performance requirements of the NZBC.

Building Consent Authority Requirements

All the appropriate inspections are to be carried out by a BCA representative and that it complies with the NZBC requirements.

Documentation

Finish Sample

Submit one 300 mm x 300 mm sample of the selected texture finish and colour for approval on request by the main contractor or specifier. Obtain signature of acceptance on sample and return to the Registered Plasterer.

Maintenance Instructions

Provide Resene Construction Systems Maintenance Guide on or before practical completion of the contract for issuing to the building owner. Resene Construction Systems Maintenance Guide to be provided on request.

Health and Safety

Refer to the requirements of the Health and Safety in Employment Act 2015 and Worksafe NZ: Guidelines for the provision of facilities and general safety in the construction industry. If the elimination or isolation of potential hazards and risks is not possible then minimise hazards and risks in this work on site by using the proper equipment and techniques as required in the MPNZA Painters hazard handbook. Supply protective clothing and equipment. Inform employees and others on site of the hazards and put into place procedures for dealing with emergencies. Obtain from Resene Construction Systems the Material Safety Data Sheets for each product. Keep sheets on site and comply with the required safety procedures. Confirmation at the start of the project as to whether a Site Specific Safety Plan is to be produced by the Registered Plasterer prior to works starting.

Warranty

Materials: by Resene Construction Systems – 15 Years Materials only

Execution: by Registered Plasterer – 5 Years Workmanship only

Components Used

Acrylbond Resin

• Multi-purpose Resin supplied in 5kg and 20kg containers

MultiStop Bedding Compound

• Polymer-modified, cement based dry plaster mix. Supplied in 15kg bags.

MultiStop Finishing

• Polymer-modified, cement based dry plaster mix. Supplied in 15kg bags.

Resene Aquapel – Waterbourne

• Resene Aquapel is a water repellent treatment formulated to help control efflorescence and give a long-term water-beading effect to deter water penetration.

Installation/Application

Check and Prepare Plasterboard Linings

Preparation based on new substrate installations.

Preliminary Checks

Plasterboard must be taped and stopped to a level 4 finish according to Plasterboard manufacturer’s specifications.

Clean Surface

When the substrate has been left for a period of time, dust and dirt may build up on the surface. This contamination must be removed prior to render application.

Masking

Before applying the render, masking must be applied to all joinery, pipes, roofs, and all areas likely to be marked by the render. Use drop cloths and ground covers to keep the working areas clean.

Resin/MultiStop Slurry Coat

Surface Preparation

Ensure surface is clean, sound, dry and free from dust, dirt, grease, mould and lichen.

Application

Mix a solution of Acrylbond and Rockcote MultiStop together and apply using a roller or brush. A high solids roller can also be used to ensure the solution is evenly distributed across the wall surface.

For pourous substrates (eg. brick, concrete) mix a 50:50 4L mix of Acrylbond/water and a 1 kg of MultiStop/AAC Adhesive/Hydroplast to the mix.

For other surfaces (including painted) ensure a 4 Litre of Acrylbond is mixed directly with 1 kg of MultiStop/AAC Adhesive/Hydroplast.

If you are unsure of the surface you are applying the slurry to, apply to a small section of wall and test for adhesion.

Rockcote MultiStop Bedding Skim Coat

Surface Preparation

Ensure surface is clean, sound, dry and free from dust, dirt, grease, mould and lichen.

Mixing

Rockcote MultiStop is added to clean potable water whilst being stirred with a powered mechanical mixer until a trowel-able consistency is achieved. The mix is left to stand for 2 minutes and re-mixed, this will ensure all dry powder components are fully saturated and ready for application. Only mix as much product as can be reasonably used within 30mins. Once the product has started to set it must not be re-tempered. Dispose of setting material. Always wear a dust mask when mixing and handling this product.

Application

Plaster is applied not greater than 1mm with a steel trowel to a flat finish. A range of finishes can be achieved using sponges or steel trowels. Apply plaster only when the temperature is between 5°C and 30°C and will be in that range for the 24 hours period following application. MultiStop can be sanded to remove any dags or minor imperfections from the trowelling.

Curing:

Render should be protected from hot drying winds and direct sunlight for the first 16 hours. Protect newly applied plaster from rain and water run off for the first 24 hours.

Rockcote MultiStop Finishing Skim/Texture Coat (2 Coats)

Surface Preparation

Ensure surface is clean, sound, dry and free from dust, dirt, grease, mould and lichen.

Application

Plaster can be applied with a steel trowel, broad-knife at approximately 1mm thick (20m2 per bag). Apply plaster only when the temperature is between 5°C and 30°C and will be in that range for the 24 hours period following application.

Curing:

Render should be protected from hot drying winds and direct sunlight for the first 16 hours. Protect newly applied plaster from rain and water run off for the first 24 hours.

Resene Aquapel – Waterborne (2 Coats)

Surface preparation

Ensure surface is clean and dry, free from dirt, dust and loose material, oil, grease and mould.

Waterblasting is the best exterior surface preparation method prior to painting.

Application

Stir thoroughly before use. Apply by brush, roller or low pressure spray. Recoat after six hours under
normal conditions.

Dependent on surface porosity – typically 2.5 sq. metres per litre for concrete block, 8-11 sq. metres per litre for concrete (tilt, precast and plaster)

Water repellence will reduce over time. To maintain water repellence reapplication will be usually required every three years or when water repellence disappears. Reapplication will be required when water applied to the treated areas does not form beads.
