Description
The KOROK® FS and NCS Systems incorporate KOROK® panels that are used to construct non-loadbearing standard, fire and acoustically rated walls and partitions within the building envelope.
KOROK® panels are available in two panel profiles (KOROK® Gen 1 and KOROK® Gen 2 panels) and are made from lightweight aerated concrete encased in profiled galvanised steel sheet steel formwork.
Scope
KOROK® FS and NCS Systems have been appraised for use as non-loadbearing standard, fire/or and acoustically rated internally located walls and partitions for all buildings of all importance levels as defined by AS/NZS 1170.
The KOROK® panels may be installed with either a vertical or horizontal orientation. The maximum span for the panels between structural supports is 8 m. The overall height or length of a KOROK® FS and NCS Systems wall will be determined by the structural support.
When used as part of a fire rated system, the maximum unsupported span of the KOROK® panels is 6 m (vertical orientation) and 5 m (horisontal orientation).
Greater spans are subject to specific engineering design and/or fire engineering assessment, and are outside the scope of this Appraisal.
