The PALLISIDE® weatherboards system meets the requirements of the NZBC as an Alternative Solution and is supported by BRANZ appraisal 490 (Direct Fix) and 491 (Drained Cavity).
E2 only refers to a range of generic acceptable solutions and PALLISIDE® is an Alternative solution.
That is correct. PALLISIDE® is an alternative solution. Once you have established your B.E.R.M. score, refer to Paragraph 2.5 in the PALLISIDE® Technical Guide, or the scope of use mentioned in BRANZ appraisals 490 (direct fix) and 491 (drained cavity).

Yes. PALLISIDE® has been tested and appraised for use in wind zones up to and including Extra High (EH) as defined by NZS3604 and for specific wind zones up to and including design differential 2.5kPa ULS. Refer to paragraph 2.4 of the PALLISIDE® Technical Guide for more guidance around wind loading.

Yes, they do differ. As the PALLISIDE® Traditional profile now incorporates a pre-cut scriber, there is a different window set out for Traditional and Rusticated.
Rusticated with a smooth or Woodgrain finish and Traditional (Bevel-Back) with a smooth finish only.

PALLISIDE® has been designed to emulate the look of timber weatherboards in either a Rusticated or Bevel Back style, however the profile shape and sizes are not the same as timber.

PALLISIDE® weatherboard only come in the one standard size of double 130.

Yes. PALLISIDE® has 2 BRANZ Appraisals, 490 for Direct Fix and 491 for Drained Cavity.

Each PALLISIDE® Weatherboard is 6.3m long. Custom made 8.0m lengths are available. Contact Dynex on 0800 439 639 for more information on lead time and quantities.

The effective cover of a standard 6.3m PALLISIDE® weatherboard is 1.64m².

A boxed external corner is now available for use with the PALLISIDE® traditional weatherboard system. Window facings are under development and expected to be available in 2020. Please contact Dynex on 0800 439 639 for further information.
It may be necessary to have a special customer corner manufactured using another type of material (e.g. Timber or Powder-coated Aluminium).
PALLISIDE® works well with other exterior claddings, particularly brick. There are a range of generic design showing how to transition PALLISIDE® and other claddings available via www.palliside.co.nz/CAD
Yes, providing that the radius of the area to be curved is at least 3.0m.
Only the PALLISIDE® Rusticated profile only can be installed vertically however this is outside the scope of the BRANZ appraisal. Please contact Dynex on 08000439 639 for more information.
When exposed to flame, PALLISIDE® will melt and shrink away from the heat source. Any flame self-extinguishes immediately on removal of the heat source.
PALLISIDE® is suitable for use on buildings with SH Risk Group clarification and the product has been used with a wide variety of multi-unit type developments, where the fire design of the building has incorporated the use of PALLISIDE® as the main exterior cladding. Contact Dynex on 0800 439 639 for further information.
Peak Heat Release 141.7kW/m². Total Heat Release 48.6 MJ/m².
Builder FAQs
When installing PALLISIDE® direct to the frame an absorbent breather type building underlay complying with NZBC Acceptable Solution E2/AS1 Table 23 must be installed over the framing. Some synthetic underlays do not have the minimum 100g/m² absorbency needed to allow their use with non-absorbent claddings like PALLISIDE®. NB: When installing PALLISIDE® over a drained cavity this measure of absorbency is not important. Contact Dynex on 0800 439 639 if there is need for further clarification
A 40 x 2.5mm galvanised nail (with a small 5mm head which fits nicely into the nailing groove) is supplied as part of the standard PALLISIDE® system. Fixing requirements may vary and we recommend checking with relevant fixing tables located in either the Direct Fix or Drained Cavity Installation Guide to make the correct selection.
Because of its unique interlock design, there is no requirement for stainless nails when installing PALLISIDE® in a salt-spray area, as a HDG coating, a Class 4 finish, is acceptable.
No, the nails are simply hammered through the top-nailing strip. In cold temperatures pre-drilling may help prevent the nailing strip from splitting.
Yes. Refer to the relevant PALLISIDE® installation guide for details around type of screws required to install PALLISIDE®.
Yes. The Installation Guides (and BRANZ Appraisals) support the use of a Paslode finishing nailer utilising 2 brads (skewed) per stud, as a viable option for fixing PALLISIDE®. For further information refer to the installation guides or contact Dynex on 0800 439 639.
PALLISIDE® can be cut with a multitude of standard wood working and power tools e.g. Drop Saw or Circular Saw, as long as these power tools have a fine-tooth blade (minimum 20 teeth).
PALLISIDE® is very safe to work with and cut. There is no requirement for dust collection equipment or a face mask when handling/cutting PALLISIDE®.
Yes. The PALLISIDE® weatherboard system includes coloured Silicon Sealants as part of the range.
No. They are simply clipped into the corner soaker base (which must be installed prior to the weatherboards). Care needs to be taken to align the boards correctly before clipping the corner soakers in place.
Yes, one side of the flat soaker needs to be glued using solvent cement. The Flat Soaker is then pushed in place with the glued side hard against the PALLISIDE® weatherboard. Under no circumstances glue both sides.
No the flat soaker does not have base. The flat soaker can either be installed when boards are staggered or the soakers are installed one above the other proving the join is directly over a stud.
Allow a 5mm gap for thermal expansion.
The 2-Part joiner option is an alternative method for joining PALLISIDE® weatherbaords, but must be joined on stud.
