Integra System – BRANZ appraised

The latest Rockcote solution released into the market has received the final tick of approval from BRANZ. The system incorporates a primary and secondary means of weather resistance (first and second line of defence) against water penetration by separating the cladding from the external wall framing with a nominal 20 mm drained cavity.

The Rockcote Integra System has passed the stringent E2/VM1 weathertightness testing, and now includes ULS windzones up to 2.5kpa.

This system also includes the latest technical flashing developments from Rockcote. BRANZ – The BRANZ appraisal # 681.
