FRAMING GUIDELINES
INSTALLATION
• ResComR 18mm flooring can be fixed to steel or timber joists at 450mm centres
ResComR flooring can be fitted to a square or staggered layout, but must be staggered for tiled or vinyl finishes.
• Construction of timber framing must be in accordance with NZS 3604 – Timber-framed buildings.
Where waterproofing is required, ensure butt joints have a 2mm gap between them, and are filled with a suitable sealant prior to application of waterproof membrane.
• Construction of steel framing must be in accordance with NZ standards. • ShipLap ResComR Flooring may be joined mid span.
FIXINGS
• It is always advised that the level of supporting framing be checked prior to installation for accuracy to remove unforeseen installation issues.
When fixing Maglok sheets to joists, and bottom plate frames through Maglok to joist, always use minimum Class 3 non corrosive screws and bracing brackets, or Stainless steel screws and bracing brackets.
SPAN & LOADING GUIDELINES
Ensure framing is level and clean before fixing
18mm thick ResComR flooring is suitable for Categories A or B Class 5 conditions. See Fig. 1 below.
Shiplap join requires no nogging
Tests were undertaken in accordance with clause 8.2 of AS/ NZS 2908.2:2000.
