Fenta is a pre-finished, washable commercial ceiling tile, made with a quality fibre cement board, proudly made in New Zealand for over 30 years.
Finished with a UV-cured antimicrobial gloss, it’s ideal for use where hygiene is critical.

Hygenic and fire resistant
Fenta ensures the highest levels of hygiene and sanitation. Water and moisture resistant, its hard, smooth surface is impregnated with an antimicrobial additive to minimise the spread of bacteria, mould and mildew, ensuring compliance with B2 Durability and G3 Food Preparation requirements in the New Zealand Building Code (NZBC). The tiles fit into all standard suspended ceiling grids and meet the maximum standard in fire safety – Group 1-S.

Highly light reflective
Fenta’s high-gloss surface has high reflectivity to maximise light reflectance and light distribution in a room for improved working conditions and energy efficiency. Service spaces are often windowless, and whenever Fenta has been retrofitted into an existing space, the staff are delighted by the better lighting conditions.

Durable UV coating
Fenta features a durable ultraviolet (UV) coated surface. UV-cured coating systems are harder than conventional coatings and offer excellent impact and scratch resistance. The Fenta surface will last longer than most architectural paint systems, so requires less maintenance over its lifetime.

Environmental VOC-free paint
With UV technology, coatings are instantly dried on the UV line with no VOC emissions. UV curing complies with international environmental standards, such as Global Green Tag, and the coating is manufactured under the ISO 14001 environmental standard.

Rigitone Matrix 15mm Round (15/30) is part of the Potter Interior Systems Perforated Plasterboard range and one of the edge to edge Rigitone patterns available. Rigitone boards were developed by worldwide plasterboard specialist, Saint-Gobain and are available in New Zealand through Potters’s International Alliance Program. These products feature innovative, VOC reducing Activ’Air technology to help improve indoor air quality.

Boards in the Potter Rigitone Perforated Plasterboard range have been designed for use on ceilings where an increased level of sound attenuation and a high level of aesthetic appeal is required. The panel perforations together with acoustic fabric lining and insulation, where used, reduce echo and noise reverberation to create more comfortable environments for work and leisure.

PRODUCT OPTIONS

Rigitone Matrix 15mm Round as a 12.5mm thick sheet, 2010mm wide and 1200mm long.

A regular pattern of 15mm round perforations at 30mm centres combine to give Class C sound absorption and up to 0.90 NRC 19.6% perforated area. The panels are supplied a white acoustic fabric backing that improves acoustic performance and eliminates dust from ceiling cavities.

INSTALLATION

Rigitone is specially designed to be screw fixed to suspended ceilings. Its unique installation method allows the product’s perforated pattern to continue undisrupted where sheets meet. Unlike the traditional three coat plasterboard jointing systems, Rigitone boards are jointed by directing a specialised compound into a gap between the sheets. The filling method is made possible by the unique Rigitone Filler Accessory Kit, combined with the Rigitone Filler compound. While all four edges of Rigitone sheets are pre-primed, cut edges must be sealed with Rigitone Primer prior to installation, readying the surface for the filler compound.

ACTIV’AIR

Activ’Air is a patented technology that converts formaldehyde into non-harmful inert compounds that are permanently locked in the board and cannot be released back into the air.

BOSS P40 MAK-Wrap is a light-weight, versatile insulation wrap for protecting metallic service penetrations through fire walls. At 40mm thick and with a 40kg/m3 density, the P40-MAK Wrap offers a cost effective, easy to install method of providing the insulation requirements to penetrating pipes, cables & cable trays through fire walls, floors and ceilings.

It consists of medium density mineral fibre insulation, lined on one face with reinforced aluminium foil backing.  When used in conjunction with other high performance BOSS penetration seals, P40-MAK Wrap will increase the insulation rating of the installed system by up to 120 minutes, by blocking the transfer of heat from thermally conductive services in a fire situation.

P40-MAK Wrap is lightweight, easy to handle and simple to install.  It can simply be wrapped around the services to be protected and secured in place using a number of methods. The mineral fibre insulation is non-toxic and unaffected by oil, fungus, moisture and contains no halogens or asbestos.

Applications include steel pipes, copper pipes, lagged copper pipes, mains power cables, TPS circuit cables, telecommunications cables and cable trays, on a range of wall types including plasterboard, concrete, masonry, AAC and Speed Panel.

Why Use P40-MAK Wrap:

1. Offer 2hrs insulation to penetrating metallic services (FRL -/120/120)
2. Requires only one layer of P40-MAK Wrap on large main conductors and cable trays
3. Low cost and simple installation
4. Approved to be used with BOSS Batt aperture seals
5. Approved for a wide variety of mixed service bundles with the BOSS Fire Transit Box
6. Tested and approved to AS1530.4 at only 300mm wide

Preparation:

1. Ensure that service penetration sealing system (eg. BOSS FireMastic-300, BOSS Fire Transit Box) has been installed correctly as per the installation instructions for that system.
2. Remove all unnecessary combustible materials from area adjacent to the seal. Use a dust pan and brush, sweep all loose material and debris from the services and service support system.
3. Insulation lagging on services may be left intact.

Installation:

1. Wear suitable attire and eye protection to avoid skin and eye contact.
2. Fasten one end of the wrap to the services / tray being wrapped using adhesive-backed foil tape.
3. Carefully install the wrap around the service/s and/or tray, applying gentle tension to the foil backing to ensure a snug fit.
4. Cut the wrap to the required length, to ensure a minimum overlap across the join of 100mm or as per the supporting tested system. Note that some tested systems require the services to be wrapped to form multiple layers or in some cases be extended in distance from the substrate requiring multiple wraps.
5. Secure the wrap across the join using adhesive-backed foil tape.
6. Any exposed fibres on the edges of the wrap can be covered by application of a strip of adhesive-backed foil tape.
7. Secure the wrap in position using steel tie-wire or steel cable ties.
8. Maintain a record of the installation and label as required.

Rondo KEY-LOCK® Concealed Suspended Ceiling System is designed to produce a high-quality structure for a flush or featured finish to your plasterboard ceiling. There are two options for this ceiling system. You can either direct-fix or fully suspend.

However, if it’s a suspension depth of more than 200mm you’re after, then our most popular, fully suspended KEY-LOCK® ceiling system is the way to go.   Available for fire-rated, bulkhead, seismic and acoustic designs, it is strong enough to hold multiple layers of plasterboard.

The ceiling grid system enables the mixing of primary (Top Cross Rail) and secondary components (Furring Channel) to increase spans, suspension fixing points and maximise structural design. The components within the Rondo ceiling system have been expertly designed to simply snap into sections, without the aid of mechanical tools. This offers contractors an easy to install ceiling system, speeding up valuable time on site.

What’s more, the innovative Top Cross Rail and Furring Channel sections have rolled edges making them safer to handle and together with our state-of-the-art manufacturing processes, we can also produce these profiles in custom lengths or radiuses for vaulted and curved ceilings. KEY-LOCK® Ceiling System can be installed with our Acoustic Mounts to improve airborne sound and impact sound transmitted between floors.

Additionally, our Technical Team can provide seismic design solutions using our KEY-LOCK® Ceiling System, which have been tested to meet Australian and New Zealand building codes.

BENEFITS OF KEY-LOCK CEILING SYSTEM

• Furring channels and top cross rails are available in radiuses for curved ceilings
• Furring channels, ceiling battens and top cross rails can be ordered in special lengths
• Able to be engineered designed for external ceiling use, e.g. Soffits

For those who need a more direct approach, Rondo supplies a wide range of direct fixing clips that allows you to direct fix Furring Channels or Ceiling Battens to either concrete, steel or timber ceiling structures for suspension depths of up to 200mm.

If you need a greater suspension depth, you can install a Rondo Key-Lock® suspended ceiling system.

Direct fixing clips need to be fixed along the sections in accordance with the relevant maximum span tables and our Furring Channels should be spaced as per the building board manufacturers’ recommendations.  There is also a range of ceiling batten systems which are suitable for truss spacings from 600mm to 1200mm and for use in cyclonic and high wind areas.

Rondo Ceiling Battens and accompanying clips have been load tested to ensure they meet all relevant standard requirements. Two of our most popular clips are the 314 Direct Fixing Clip and the 390 Batten Swivel Clip.

314 Direct Fixing Clip – to accommodate the increasing use of timber “I” beams, the 314 Clip has two extra nail or screw slots lower down on the clip, with an additional holding tab to assist installation. Cleverly, the temporary holding tab is tapped into the timber beam when the clip is at the right level freeing up both your hands to secure the clip.

390 Batten Swivel Clip – with the ability to rotate 360°, the swivel clip can easily turn the ceiling batten on an angle that suits the change in roof truss direction. It also incorporates the temporary holding tab for quick and easy installation.

Noise is actually vibration. A normal stud conducts the vibration across its web, and sound is transmitted via anything that reacts to it by vibrating. The Rondo QUIET STUD^® is overall bigger in surface area than a standard wall stud. Therefore, the sound (vibration) has further to travel and tends to weaken in intensity across the wall, resulting in a more acoustic efficient wall system.

Its unique design, combined with appropriate lining board systems, forms an effective buffer against unwanted noise to provide a cost-effective solution to acoustic control provisions. You get more floor space, less noise and less installation costs with Rondo QUIET STUD^®.

Fast and simple to install, its smaller footprint means more usable floor space. Not only that, the installation method is practically the same as standard drywall construction, so you’ll have lower installation costs and a virtually fail-safe acoustic wall-system.

Suitable For

• Acoustic control provisions
• Acoustic wall system
• Fire Rated and Non-fire rated Systems
• Inter-tenancy walls (popular in apartments)

Advantages

• Achieves superior performance in a smaller footprint, leaving more floor space
• Quick installation as Contractor uses standard steel stud drywall installation practices, resulting in lower labour costs
• Utilises standard Rondo 92mm top and bottom wall tracks
• Standard 92mm wide stud system
• Bell-mouthed service holes for electrical cabling
• Studs feature a wider 45mm fixing flange
• Studs are designed for a friction fit into top & bottom wall track

Designed to allow large bundles of pipes and cables to all pass through one single fire rated enclosure, the  Fire Transit Box is the only tested and proven method of firestopping multiple services with such simplicity of installation and ease of compliance. Commonly used for apartment entry configurations above an entry door to an SOU, the Fire Box is also suited for service risers, shafts, plant areas and data rooms in a variety of residential, commercial and industrial buildings.

The new generation of BOSS FyreBox is now tested and approved to AS1530.4: 2014 and AS4072.1-2005 for 30, 60, 90 and 120 minute configurations on a larger variety of services than ever before. New approvals relate to a wider variety of wall, concrete slab &  floor / ceiling systems.

The BOSS FyreBox allows you to group various electrical, plumbing, HVAC+R services all through one easy to use and easily certified box. Because services trades don’t need to treat their services individually, risk is removed from using incorrect products or not having them installed correctly.

1. Up to 2 hour fire rating (FRL -/120/120)
2. Up to Rw50 acoustic rating
3. Approved for a wide range of walls, concrete slabs & floor/ceilings
4. Wide variety of services and mixed combinations
5. Saves up to 90% of labour costs
6. Makes AS1851 periodic maintenance inspections simple and reliable
7. Services can be easily added after installation
8. Tested & approved to AS1530.4-2014 and AS4072.1-2005
9. Many typical apartment service configurations available
10. Large variety of electrical, plumbing & HVAC services certified

 

Easily fixed to the underside of concrete soffit before walls are built, or be installed into the wall during construction in a mid wall mount scenario. A range of fixing methods are available including retrofit options using equal angles. Recent additions to the range include retrofit options to concrete floor slabs and also ceiling approvals.

Once the box is installed, services simply “pass through” the box. There is no need to core individual penetrations for each service, or cutting any inserts, nor do you need to seal or treat every individual service. The unique Brush Seal allows services to be passed through the box at any time of construction, or even later after a project has been completed making it easier than ever for maintenance contractors and building managers to maintain fire compliance once the building is occupied.

HOW DOES IT WORK IN FIRE?

The BOSS FyreBox contains an advanced high pressure intumescent internally that upon getting exposed to high temperatures, expands to create a superior performing fire seal. Coupled with the unique Brush Seal that is designed to make the installation and compliance simple, ultimately leading to an industry-leading level of protection.

Suitable for various projects and applications:

Enhanced acoustics and style are the hallmarks of Protone 12mm Square perforated plasterboard. This superior acoustic solution delivers a grid-format geometric effect plus enhanced air quality thanks to patented Activ’Air technology.

Product Overview

Manufactured by worldwide plasterboard specialist, Saint-Gobain, Protone is purpose built to provide exceptional acoustic control with contemporary design.
A flexible option provides even greater levels of design freedom.

High levels of acoustic absorption are achieved through a combination of perforation patterns and a highly effective white acoustic fabric backing which also prevents dust from the ceiling entering the room and masks the ceiling framework.

Protone 12mm Square features eight large square groupings per sheet, each with 400 x 12mm square perforations at 25mm centres, providing a 16% open area.

Protone is also manufactured with Activ’Air technology which has an enduring impact on indoor air quality.  All four edges of Protone perforated plasterboards are recessed to make flush jointing quicker and easier without the need for butt joints between full panels. The availability of seamless access panels, ensures easy access to the ceiling cavity while maintaining pattern continuity.

 

Typical Applications

Used as a high performance plasterboard for ceilings in commercial constructions where a high level of acoustic performance is required. This includes applications such as theatres, restaurants, shopping centres and hotel foyers. Whilst perforated plasterboard in predominantly installed in ceilings, it is suitable for use in walls.

The unique installation method allows the product’s perforated pattern to continue uninterrupted, achieved using a specialised compound, accessory kit and primer prior, readying the surface for sanding and painting.

Access Panel
An access panel is available that consists of a plasterboard frame that is easily set into the ceiling and a 510mm x 510mm hatch piece with a matching perforation pattern that fits neatly into the frame. This panel provide access to the ceiling cavity while ensuring a seamless look across the surface.

Activ’Air
Activ’Air is a patented technology that converts formaldehyde into non-harmful inert compounds that are permanently locked in the board and cannot be released back into the air.

Sylomer, the special PUR Elastomer material developed by Getzner is one of the leading products on the international market for vibration isolation and mitigation.

The elastic polyurethane material deforms under tension and compression loads, but always returns to its original form. In doing so, these reliable materials isolate and reduce vibrations which can have negative effects on humans, the environments and materials.

Sylomer is used in its cellular or compact form for many applications in civil engineering and machinery. In most of them, Sylomer is used as an elastic interlayer like a spring. The characteristics of this spring can be adapted to the need of application and of the construction, or the construction method by selecting the Sylomer type – including Sylodamp and Sylodyn, the thickness, and the loaded surface area.

It is ideally suited for lightweight flooring constructions such as timber and marine applications, where fibreglass and composite floor panels are used.

When laying carpet over a floor constructed using lightweight timber and joists, typical standard underlay only reduces impact noise and offers little effect in reducing the transmission of airborne noise. Silentstep can significantly reduce both impact and airborne noise transfer through a floor system. This means that noise generated from speech and electronic audio technologies, such as radio and television, can be reduced along with noise generated by impact such as footfall.

Silentstep products are environmentally safe, contain no ozone-depleting substances and complies with European and Australian standards for Volatile Organic Compound emissions.

Quadzero™ is a high performance, foil-faced, mass-loaded vinyl noise barrier, offering superior acoustic transmission loss and low spread of flame surface covering.

Quadzero™ was developed to meet market noise reduction requirements in the domestic, commercial, industrial and OEM sectors.

To achieve this high performance, the Pyrotek engineering team developed Quadzero™ to be dense, thin, strong, tear-resistant and highly flexible. These properties give the product high transmission loss throughout the various weight ranges.It complies with British and international fire and building codes for low spread of flame.

Stiff lightweight panel constructions, such as plasterboard, drywall, plywood and hollow core walls, typically have coincidence dip resonance which allows noise to transmit through a construction. The coincidence dip is dependent on the material’s stiffness and thickness and occurs at the point where the sound transmitted through the structure matches the natural frequency of the panel.

Quadzero™ shifts the coincidence dip to frequencies limiting its impact, thereby maintaining the performance of the product. The thin, dense mass Quadzero™ barrier reflects and absorbs the transmission of sound through walls, ceilings and floors, reducing the critical frequencies generated from mechanical equipment, engine noise and electronic audio devices.

FireMastic-HPE is a graphite-based, thixotropic, one-part acrylic emulsion that is designed to resist the passage of fire and smoke. Under heat, FireMastic-HPE will expand with enough pressure to close PVC pipes and seal around cables and metal pipes to maintain the integrity and insulation performance of the seal, yet without placing any unnecessary pressure on the building substrate.

FireMastic-HPE is supplied in cartridges suitable for caulking via an applicator gun or also available in buckets. It has excellent non-slump properties coupled with the ease of application due to its water-based nature.

The sealant is intended for use in either linear gap seals or services penetrations through walls where fire integrity and insulation needs to be preserved. Under fire conditions the product expands up to 40 times its volume and exerts pressure to the surrounding substrates leading to closure of the penetration. The integrity and insulation is then maintained by the stability of the remaining product char.

With a 23% open area Rigitone Matrix 12mm Square combines exceptional acoustic performance with modern monolithic design thanks to it’s edge-to-edge perforation layout and unique installation method.

Product Overview
Manufactured by worldwide plasterboard specialist, Saint-Gobain, Rigitone is purpose built to provide exceptional acoustic control with ultimate design freedom. High levels of acoustic absorption are achieved through a combination of perforation patterns and a highly effective white acoustic fabric backing which also prevents dust from the ceiling entering the room and masks the ceiling framework.

Rigitone Matrix 12mm Square provides a pattern of 12mm square perforations at 25mm centres, providing a 23% open area.

Rigitone is also manufactured with Activ’Air technology which has an enduring impact on indoor air quality.  The edges of Rigitone boards are square cut and pre-primed for a unique installation method using ready-mixed Rigitone Filler, creating a continuous, seamless finish. The availability of seamless access panels, ensures easy access to the ceiling cavity while maintaining pattern continuity.

 

Typical Applications
Rigitone perforated plasterboard is typically used as a high performance plasterboard for ceilings in commercial constructions where a high level of acoustic performance is required. This includes applications such as theatres, restaurants, shopping centres and hotel foyers.

The unique installation method allows the product’s perforated pattern to continue uninterrupted, achieved using a specialised compound, accessory kit and primer prior, readying the surface for sanding and painting.

Installation
Rigitone is specially designed to be screw fixed to suspended ceilings. Its unique installation method allows the product’s perforated pattern to continue undisrupted where sheets meet. Unlike the traditional three coat plasterboard jointing systems, Rigitone boards are jointed by directing a specialised compound into a gap between the sheets. The filling method is made possible by the unique Rigitone Filler Accessory Kit, combined with the Rigitone Filler compound. While all four edges of Rigitone sheets are pre-primed, cut edges must be sealed with Rigitone Primer prior to installation, readying the surface for the filler compound.

Activ’Air
Activ’Air is a patented technology that converts formaldehyde into non-harmful inert compounds that are permanently locked in the board and cannot be released back into the air.
