Foreword

Since habitable dwellings have been constructed, plaster in

its various forms, has played a major role in the finishing of

interior walls and ceilings.

Solid plasters were used in masonry structures to achieve a

smooth and level finish to walls, and by the 1800’s the process

of “lath and plaster” had evolved. This enabled timber framed

ceilings and walls to achieve a finish compatible with solid

plaster.

Around 1900 plasterboard was invented – a panel sandwich

comprising a gypsum core with paper stuck to each side –

expensive to produce.

It was not until after the Second World War that plasterboard

became the panacea for the considerably quantity of material

needed for the process of rebuilding.

Since then there has been little development in standard

plasterboard, other than, joint finishing and fixing systems.

Attempts have been made to produce a pre-finished panel but

have generally failed. This was primarily due to the robustness

and durability of the coating and a difficult installation

processes.

In recent years Climate Coatings Limited have developed

processes that enable wood based products to be powder

coated. That process has now been extended to include

plasterboard. The qualities and robustness of powder

coating are well known and this, together with an innovative

installation process, provides an exceptional interior lining

solution.

With this in mind Climate Coatings Limited produces

ClimateLine® – in their Auckland plant - an easy to handle

panel that is: -

• 10mm or 13mm Standard Plasterboard.

• Powder coated on one side in a full range of colours.

• Uses a simple installation process

of 44

ClimateLine® is a pre-finished plasterboard panel that

eliminates the time, cost and quality issues associated with

plastering and painting interior linings on site.

The durable, environmentally friendly Climate powder coat

finish provides a perfect factory applied level of quality and

consistency with the option for special effect pearlescent,

metallic and blend finish options for a unique look.

Independent test results demonstrate superior abrasion

resistance and cleaning maintenance qualities of the

ClimateLine® finish, compared to traditional acrylic interior

paints. This added performance provides the best option

to achieve a longer service life for wall linings in demanding

applications.

Installation of ClimateLine® in a range of commercial

and residential applications is quick and easy with the

ClimateLine® range of Aluminium Jointers, available colour

matched or in a natural anodised finish. Alternatively

incorporate ClimateLine® into existing proprietary systems for

office partitions and wardrobe doors.

In this document, technical information is given on the use

of powder coated plasterboard when installed as an interior

lining, marketed under the trade name ClimateLine®.

ClimateLine® meets the durability requirement of the New

Zealand Building Code.

To align with NZS 3604:1999 (the current acceptable solution

for Structure/Timber of the New Zealand Building Code),

a similar index and numbering system has been used

throughout, together with a right hand comment column. Any

future amendments will again follow the accepted method by

highlighting and dating specific clauses.

This manual supersedes all previous technical documents.

2. General Product Description

2.1 ClimateLine® Material

The substrate used in the production of ClimateLine® is square

edged, plasterboard panel.

Panels of various sizes and thicknesses are powder coated (in

a variety of colours and finishes) by Climate Coatings Limited.

Panels are marketed for general use in the New Zealand

building industry under the trade name ClimateLine®.

ClimateLine® has a powder coating to the finished face of the

plasterboard only. It cannot have a finish to both sides. The

finished face is protected by a removable plastic film.

2.2 Identification

The Trade name ClimateLine® appears on all product

packaging, together with the Climate logo.

Figure 2.1 Trade name

Figure 2.2 Logo

C2.1

From hereon all use of

the name ClimateLine® in

this literature, shall apply

to the description in this

clause.

of 44

2.3 Acceptable Uses

ClimateLine® can be used for all traditional and current standard plasterboard lining

applications.

As a high quality, prefinished product the installation process requires no “wet” trades and

is therefore particularly suited to installations where time is of the essence. The robustness

and abrasion resistance of the ClimateLine® powder coat finish is ideal for installations where

cleanliness and durability is required.

Examples of these are: -

• Commercial and Industrial interior fitouts – Schools, Offices, Hotels, Factories and Sporting

venues.

• Interior demountable partitions and Work Station Systems.

• Residential Applications – Full interior lining solution.

• Cupboard alcoves, Wardrobe Doors and Feature Walls.

2.4 Prohibited Uses

ClimateLine® panels shall be used as described in this literature. Any other use

shall be by expressed approval of Climate Coatings Limited on a case-by-case

basis.

ClimateLine® must not be used as an exterior lining.

ClimateLine® must be protected from the elements at all times. It must not be

installed in any situation where external linings are not place.

The requirements relating to wall linings in areas subject to water splash are

covered in the NZ Building code E3 Internal Moisture.

Specifically E3.3.4 requires wall surfaces adjacent to sanitary fixtures or laundering facilities to

be impervious and easily cleaned.

E3 / AS1 3.1.2(f ) indicates that sheet linings finished with a gloss or semi-gloss coating will

satisfy this requirement.

• E3 / AS1 3.2.1 requires modular or multiple lining sheets to either

o Have impervious joints OR

o Be fixed over an impervious substrate

• ES3 / AS1 3.2.2 requires that where baths, basins, tubs or sinks abut impervious linings,

the joint between fixture and lining shall be sealed to prevent water penetration to concealed

spaces or behind linings.

C2.4

See Section 7-

Maintenance – for full

details and list of

prohibited products.

of 44

ClimateLine® must not be exposed to liquid water or be installed in situations where

extended exposure to Relative Humidity above 90% could be expected.

Such areas include:

• Shower enclosures

• Group shower or steam rooms

• Moisture and/or chlorine rich environments such as indoor swimming or spa pools.

ClimateLine® is specifically for use in dry environments. If it is to be installed in areas where

moisture is present such as bathrooms, kitchens or laundries it is highly recommended that

ClimateLineAqua is used. The substrate for ClimateLineAqua is GIB Aqualine® which has a

water resistant plaster core.

When ClimateLine is used in areas where moisture is present special attention needs to be

given to

• Sheet joints

• Junctions such as wall to floor, wall to ceiling and wall to vanity / bath etc

• Penetrations for pipes and other plumbing or electrical fittings

See installation details in Section 5 Lining Design & Installation

For 10mm panels a traditional range of aluminium jointers is

available that may assist with the above or be used in total. This

range of jointers is designed to be fixed in the traditional manner,

prior to fitting panels – see Figure 5.5

Figure 5.5 10mm Traditional Aluminium Jointers

In each case the installer will incorporate “ClimateLineTM “into their

system and Climate Coatings Limited are always available to advise

and design specific solutions.

5.4 Cutting and Penetrating Panels

The process for cutting and penetrating “ClimateLineTM” is identical

to that used for standard plasterboard.

5.4.1 Cutting

Plasterboard sheets are heavy and may bend or snap under their

own weight. Handle sheets carefully and make sure they are properly

supported prior to scoring.

• Place the panel with the coated coloured face side up. Accurately

measure and mark the sheet using a soft pencil to the size

required.

• Line a straightedge up with the marks and hold firmly against the

sheet. Draw a pencil line as a guide for scoring. Score through

coating and paper and lightly into the core using a drywall or craft

knife – see figure 5.6.

3.11 Framing Requirements All framing must be flat throughout. Timber framing must have a moisture content

of 18% at least at the time of lining. Common causes of unacceptable framing

are: -

Bent Studs.

Protruding nogs, nails, nail plates, insulation and angle braces.

Poorly assembled framing

If any of these conditions exist they must be rectified prior to the installation of

panels.

4.3.2 Abrasion Resistance

Testing was carried out in line with AS/NZS 1580.403.2: Abrasion Resistance – Taber abraser

Abrasion resistance tests were carried out on ClimateLine® test samples and control samples

of a leading brand of waterborne enamel paint.

The test results demonstrate that ClimateLine® has excellent abrasion resistance and has

substantially better abrasion resistance than the waterborne enamel paint samples tested.

Abrasion Resistance Results Summary

“The control samples (waterborne enamel paint) were found to wear faster than the test

samples (ClimateLine®). All control coating samples (waterborne enamel paint) were abraded

to the substrate at 1000 cycles”.

NB: The ClimateLine® test samples did not abrade through to the substrate after 1000 cycles.

What this means: The ClimateLine® powder coat finish has excellent resistance to abrasive

activities, providing a durable finish that will assist to protect the plasterboard substrate,

ensure serviceability of the finish and maintain its original appearance for longer. The abrasive

resistant characteristics of ClimateLine® make it an ideal lining for high wear environments.

Statement from - Independent Abrasion and Washing Resistance Test Report Summary

“It is clear form the results obtained from both the Taber abraser testing

and the washing resistance testing that ClimateLine® samples have resisted

surface damage better than the control samples (Waterborne Enamel Paint).

However, it is not systematically defined in either standard how results from

these tests will translate into in-service performance.”

Prior to starting plan the panel layout. Wherever possible, vertical cut on panels

should be used in external or internal corners.

Apply double sided tape to all studs and adhesive as shown in figure 5.1.

Adhesive should be applied in “beads” approximately 5mm wide. It is not

necessary to cover the full length of framing timbers, about 60% is sufficient as

shown in Figure 5.1.Do not allow adhesive to come in contact with double sided tape. Adhesive

must not enter the join line between panels.

Double sided tape film must only be removed immediately prior to fitting panels.

Panels must be installed with a 5-10mm gap between the bottom edge and the

floor.

Panels must be installed with edges just touching. Do not tighten the gap with

force.

Once panel is fitted, draw back protective film from top and bottom then install

screws and apply pressure over studs and nogs.

5.2.2 Trim Installation

Once installation of panels is completed, then all finishing trim should be fitted.

All current and traditional types of finishing trim can be used with ClimateLine®

Skirtings, Architraves and cornices that require painting shall be coated prior to

installation. This will avoid the need to use masking tape and fixing penetrations

can be filled and coated on completion.

Gib Cove Bond will not adhere to painted surfaces.

5.2.3 Jointer Installation

Once panels and trim have been fitted and finished the final operation is to

install the Aluminium Jointers.

All jointers are a compression friction fit and, after they have been cut to length,

should be installed with the aid of a rubber mallet or timber blocking pieces and

a hammer. Care must be taken not to damage the coating and a snug fit is all

that is required.

5.2.4 Alternative “Butt Joint”, Negative Detail & Silicone Joint Finishes

If the installation is planned in such a way that all vertical cut panels are in

corners and no vertical cuts are at “panel to panel” joints. Then, “T” jointers may

be omitted from “panel to panel” joints. This achieves a very satisfactory “Butt

Joint” effect – see figure 5.2. Only internal and external angles then need to be

fitted with jointers.

As a further alternative, gaps may be left in panel to panel joints to create a

“negative” detail. Gaps may also be silicone filled in matching or contrasting colours – see

Figure 5.4.

Figure 5.4 Negative Detail & Silicone Joint

To achieve this method it may be necessary to fit additional vertical nogs as required.

5.3 Commercial Jointer System

Other than the Standard Installation Method, outlined above, ClimateLine® panels may be

adapted to suit existing or specific installation processes i.e.

• Horizontal applications, particularly above dados.

• Incorporation into demountable and commercial partitioning systems.

• Wardrobe doors, toilet partitions and work stations.

For 10mm panels a traditional range of aluminium jointers is available that may assist with

the above or be used in total. This range of jointers is designed to be fixed in the traditional

manner, prior to fitting panels – see Figure 5.5


In each case the installer will incorporate “ClimateLine® “into their system and Climate

Coatings Limited are always available to advise and design specific solutions.


The process for cutting and penetrating ClimateLine® is identical to that used for standard

plasterboard.

5.4.1 Cutting

Plasterboard sheets are heavy and may bend or snap under their own weight. Handle sheets

carefully and make sure they are properly supported prior to scoring.

Place the panel with the coated coloured face side up. Accurately measure and mark the sheet

using a soft pencil to the size required.

Line a straightedge up with the marks and hold firmly against the sheet. Draw a pencil line as

a guide for scoring. Score through coating and paper and lightly into the core using a drywall

or craft knife – see figure 5.6.

As leaks and water ingress typically occur at junctions between building elements and at

penetrations, it is essential that particular attention is given to these details at the time

of installation. Lack of attention to detail can result in water damage that could remain

undetected for a long time.

• Ensure that all cut-outs for pipe penetrations are made neatly, and slightly oversize, with

a hole saw. These penetrations should be of a diameter no more than 12mm greater than

that of the pipe.

• Sealants should be of a mould inhibiting type and be neutral cure. Neutral cure silicones

will generally meet these requirements.

• Surfaces should be dry and free from dust before application, a minimum of a 4mm joint

width provided and the depth should not exceed the width.

• Gun a bead of silicone sealant to the full depth of the ClimateLineAqua in the following

locations:

o Around all tap/pipe bodies

o The gap between the bath rim and the bottom edge of the ClimateLineAqua

o Where an impervious junction is required at the floor/wall lin. Carefully seal the gap

between the bottom edge of the board and the finished floor. Leave a 5-10mm gap at the

bottom of the ClimateLineAqua wall lining for this purpose, ensuring the gap is free from

dirt and dust

Section 7

7.1 Care and Maintenance

The colour vibrancy and unique finish of ClimateLine® is

complemented by its easy to clean surface. Unlike a painted surface,

the hard ClimateLine® surface with build in anti-stick additives, will

not harbour the same amount of dust and grime and can be readily

cleaned without affecting the surface appearance. With proper care,

the surface will retain its appearance and performance characteristics

for years to come.

7.1.1 Everyday Cleaning

Clean the surface by wiping with a damp cloth which has been soaked and wrung out in a

diluted solution of mild liquid detergent mixed in tepid water. Remove any moisture remaining

after cleaning with a dry clean cloth.

Note that independent Resistance to Washing Test results demonstrate that the

ClimateLine®surface has excellent resistance to cleaning using soapy water.

7.1.2 Stubborn Stains and Marks

When the ‘everyday cleaning’ method does not work for stubborn marks, stains or grime build

up, use a mild general purpose household cleaner. When using appropriate household ‘spray

and wipe’ type cleaners, spray the cleaning agent so that a wide spread of mist is dispersed

onto the surface. Wipe the surface clean immediately. Test the cleaner on the ClimateLine®

surface on a hidden area, or off cut, prior to use.

Ensure to refer to the cleaning products instructions prior to use, avoid using the cleaner or

test in an inconspicuous area first, if the instructions caution against use of the product on

paint, varnish, plastic or lacquered surfaces.

Warning:

Do not spray cleaning agents in concentrated amounts onto the surface or leave the cleaning

agent on the surface for any period of time, as this could stain or damage the surface.

7. Maintenance

C7.1

See also – Section 4 –

Durability.

of 44

Do not use harsh solvents such as paint thinners, petrol, MEK, toluene and other active or

oxygenated organic solvents.

Do not use cleaning liquids, abrasive cleaners and abrasive materials that may scratch and

damage the coating, such as:

• Cleaners: Jif, Vim, Ajax, Brasso, Neat Janola, Mr Muscle Oven Cleaner, Windex, Drain

Cleaners, CLR (Calcium, Lime Rust Remover), Harpic Toilet Duck, Caustic based oven

cleaners, Sugar Soap or Bleach in any concentration.

• Abrasives: Sand Paper, Wire Wool, Scouring Pads

7.2 Painting ClimateLine®

ClimateLine® is factory finished and does not require painting. However, if desired,

ClimateLine® can be painted over as follows:

• Clean the surface thoroughly with warm soapy water. If surface has been damaged and is

chipped or flaking in areas, lightly scuff or sand surface with fine grit sand paper to remove

any loose coating.

• Lightly scuff the surface with a 350 grit sand paper just enough to abrade the surface.

Clean off residual dust with a clean cloth.

• Apply two coats of good quality interior acrylic latex paint as per paint manufacturer’s

recommendations. An interior quick dry acrylic primer may assist top coat adhesion and

application.

7.3 On Site Repairs and Touch Ups

Should damage occurring during any stage of installation or while

installed, touch up paints are available that can be used to spot

repair the affected area. If the surface is deeply indented or

gouged through to the gypsum core, then clear, clean and fill the

affected area using standard construction filler suitable for use with

plasterboard, as per filler product instructions. Sand the filled area,

ensuring to feather out the area where the filler meets the existing

coated surface to ensure a clean seamless joint. Ensure the filler is

smooth, blemish free and flat. Spray paint following the instructions

on the aerosol can.

C7.3

Touch up paint is

available from

ClimateLine®

distributors

The finished appearance of the repaired area will

primarily be determined by the quality of workmanship,

however subtle gloss and colour variation will be

evident between the paint finish and the ClimateLine®

powder coated finish.

For minor ‘touch ups’ to scratches or dents that do not

require filling, apply colour matched paint using the

dab sticks.

7.4 Replacement of Damaged Panels

If the Standard Method of installation has been used, then a damaged panel may be replaced.

If this is prior to the fitting of trim and jointers it is a simple case of breaking out the damaged

material, cleaning the framing and refitting a new panel.

If trim and jointers have been fitted then it will be necessary to carefully remove jointers, cut

out sections of trim, then replace panel as above, finally reinstating trim and jointers.

The finished appearance of the

repaired area will primarily be

determined by the quality of

8.1 Health & Safety

8.1.1 Working ConditionsUnder normal conditions of use ClimateLine® presents no known health hazards.

Powder coating is a VOC free 100% solid paint processes, therefore providing a lining that may

contribute to Green Star NZ – Office Design V1 IEQ-13 Volatile Organic Compounds.

8.2 Environment

8.2.1 Reducing Volatile Organic CompoundsThe ClimateLine® finish is a 100% solid powder coating; no solvents are used in the powder

or process. This means that it contains zero Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s). Therefore

using ClimateLine® instead of solvent and/or waterborne paints containing VOC’s reduces the

environmental impact of VOCs.

8.2.2 Indoor Air QualityClimateLine® requires no on site stopping or painting, therefore when used as an alternative

material to painted plasterboard it will help reduce interior VOC emissions.

8.2.3 Low Waste Recyclable Climate Powder Coating ProcessWaste powder is minimized during the coating process through the use of a cyclonic collection

system that enables good powder to be recycled for further use. Up to 95% of raw powder

paint material is reusable during production. Any waste powder is hardened and deemed fit for

land fill.

No solvents or water is used in the powder coating process.

8.2.4 Waste DisposalClimateLine® waste material will be accepted in most landfills. If in doubt, check with the

Local Authority.
