Scope

1. Homerit Premium Series PVC-U Windows and Doors have been appraised for use as window and door joinery within the following scope:

  • designed and manufactured in accordance with NZS 4211 for weathertightness, airtightness and structural design; and,
  • as an alternative to the aluminium windows and doors specified in NZBC Acceptable Solution E2/AS1, Paragraph 9.1.10; and,
  • in buildings within the scope of NZBC Acceptable Solution E2/AS1, Paragraph 1.1; and,

  • situated in NZS 3604 defined Wind Zones up to, and including, Very High for Bifold, Casement, French and Slide and Stack windows and doors and up to, and including, Extra High for all other window and door types.

2. Homerit Premium Series PVC-U Windows and Doors have also been appraised for compliance with NZS 4211 where they are specified for use outside the scope of NZBC Acceptable Solution E2/AS1, Paragraph 9.1.10.1 (as the product is PVC-U, not aluminium) and/or the building is outside the scope limitations of NZBC Acceptable Solution E2/AS1 Paragraph 1.1 but is within the wind exposure limitations of NZS 4211. The building weathertightness design and installation of the window and door joinery in these situations is subject to specific design and is outside the scope of this Appraisal.
