Technical Statement
Product Description
For installation into a wall where bracing is required, CS BraceWall® provides an ideal cavity slider door solution. The patented design has been tested and analysed by BRANZ using the P21 method as per NZS 3604:2011. The solution enables all the standard benefits of the CS CaviSlider range, and once installed and lined, the finished appearance is the same as that of a regular cavity slider with the added advantage of an integrated bracing panel.
Scope of use
CS BraceWall has been appraised for
use as sliding doors in internal locations. The system provides wall bracing in
buildings within the scope of NZ 3604.
Where the
CS BraceWall door is not full height an infill panel, constructed in accordance
with the Technical Literature, must be installed above the door.
