Essential Related Trade Practices

• General Construction and Flashing Principles must be adhered to in maintaining water tightness. NRG Building Systems cannot be held liable for inferior flashing and installation practices.

• It is essential that all external surfaces of the framing structure are parallel, i.e. ground floor framing, mid floor framing and upper floor framing with no protrusions or setbacks. It is also a recommendation that where ply bracing is fixed externally, counter battens be fixed perpendicular to adjoining studs to level the wall surface prior to fixing Greenboard.

• It is imperative that all exterior window/door and joinery are fixed into position prior to the installation of the NRG Greenboard to maintain water tightness and those components are fixed off plumb and level.

• Consideration should be given to the installation of wall mounted accessories i.e. taps, electrical fittings, etc. It is important to allow for adequate back-blocking for these items prior to the installation of the NRG Greenboard.

• Termite Barriers: It is the builder’s responsibility to arrange the installation of a suitable termite barrier system by a qualified professional installer, prior to the installation NRG
Greenboard.

• Internal Lining Fixing: If render application has been completed prior to plasterboard/wet area linings installation, it must be screw fixed to the internal side of all external wall surfaces. Failure to do so can result in defects to exterior render surface finish.
