I972 was the year we introduced PurlinDek roofing & cladding to the market.

A unique patented high rib steel profile that has become a building staple

across countless commercial construction projects. We expanded the

range over time, adding SmartDek and SpeedDek.

FormClad steel profiles are specifically designed for large commercial

buildings - quick to install, delivering unparalleled efficiencies and serious

aesthetic appeal. We know what it takes to build structures that withstand

the harshest of New Zealand weather conditions. Specified in either

premium or ColorSteel or Kiwicolor coatings, protect your investment for

years to come with FormClad.

save on the amount of steel. We source the highest

quality steel, thats fully compliant with NZ Building

Code requirements for non-structural roofing. With

regular maintenance of the building in accordance

to the cleaning schedule, its reasonable to expect

FormClad® profiles to exceed the warranty time-

frames. We know this because we’ve had zero

building failures since 1972.

We locally manufacture our Formclad® PurlinDek,

SmartDek and SpeedDek profiles. These long

run roofing & cladding systems are perfect for all

commercial, industrial & agricultural applications.

The uniqueness of PurlinDek and SpeedDek is in it’s

strength, saving time and money during installation

because of the speed at which it can be fixed.

SmartDek delivers outstanding coverage so you

PurlinDek® 600 ProfileThe original favourite, PurlinDek® patented high rib profile delivers unmatched strength. That means fewer

purlins and less labour during construction, and minimal buckling under concentrated loads where foot traffic

is common. Tough, durable and long-lasting, it’s likely you’ll require maintenance before your PurlinDek roofing

which is dependent on the local environment. For

other areas of your building that do not receive

adequate washing from natural rainfall (known as

unwashed areas), they will require more extensive

manual washing - soffits, undersides of gutters, wall

cladding under eaves, fascias, sheltered areas of

garage doors, and other high-risk areas like around

air conditioning units or solar panels. Overhanging

shade increases the time of wetness of a structure and

corrosion rate also.

We recommend FormClad® roofing and cladding

products should be manually washed with water and a

sponge, or a soft nylon-bristled brush. If washing with a

water blaster, pressure should not exceed 20MPa.

Maximising the life ofyour steel.

The durability performance of your FormClad® steel

roofing and cladding depends on the environmental

climate, airborne contaminants, and the material. The

major contributor to metal corrosion in New Zealand is

sea spray, and when combined with evaporation and

infrequent rain, salt concentrations increase on exterior

surfaces, particularly in unwashed areas.

When it comes to maintaining your building, we like to

make it simple. Different paint coatings for different

environments is too complicated. That’s why we apply

premium Formclad paint systems to all of our coated

steel. Formulated for extreme environments, with one

easy to follow maintenance guide, that will keep your

building ship-shape for years to come. Simple.

WASHING YOUR STEEL BUILDING

Surfaces not receiving regular and effective rain

washing or manual washing may experience corrosion

rates two to three times of cleaned surfaces. This why

we recommend manual washing every 3-12 months,

Southern Alps, combined with many households

burning coal fires producing sulphur dioxide that is

detrimental to metals.

GEOTHERMAL

Buildings within 50 metres of a geothermal fumarole

are considered to have a geothermal micro-climate,

causing increased corrosion due to higher humidity

levels combined with hydrogen sulphide. Highly

active geothermal areas like Rotorua, are considered

geothermal, even in the absence of a local fumarole.

UNIQUE INTERNAL ENVIRONMENTS

Internal environments with a high humidity, or where

pollutants are generated within the building may lead

to some premature degradation of pre-coated metals.

Solutions can be easily incorporated into the design

process, and executed at construction stage. For

further advice contact Formsteel®.

Environmental conditions that affect the corrosion zones.

In areas where humidity or local conditions create

an increased likelihood of corrosion, that’s when the

FormClad premium paint system really delivers high

performance.

MARINE & HIGH WIND ENVIRONMENTS

Wind is responsible for picking up particles of salt from

breaking waves carrying them inland. The quantity of

salt carried by the wind is affected by wind strength,

wave height, and coastline. Open flat land and natural

“wind tunnels” allow higher concentrations of salt to

travel inland. A site’s distance relative to the sea or

marine inlets, is used to assess the corrosivity.

NEW ZEALAND’S WEST COAST

The Corrosion Zones in the Code of Practice makes

a distinction between harbour’s in the West Coast,

and the East Coast shorelines. The West Coast is

characterised by high rainfall, and a more severe

coastal environment. This is higher again in the South

Island, where the West coast is surrounded by the

Environmental zones, warranties& maintenance recommendations.Formclad® coated steel products are developed

specifically to withstand the higher levels of UV and salt

air in the New Zealand environment. This makes it ideal

for harsher environments and those nearer the coast.

Boundaries of different corrosion zones are difficult

to define due to variable factors that determine

the corrosivity of a particular location. The designer

should choose materials for the location, which meet

the minimum durability requirements of the NZBC and

satisfy customer expectations. This chart is intended

as a guide only, please contact Formsteel® for further

advice on our roofing and cladding products.
