2020 – December
The following revisions to the NZ Metal Roof and Wall Cladding Code of Practice were published on 1 December 2020.
Summary of Changes in this update:
We introduced three more responsive tools to aid in roof drainage design. They are:
- Maximum Run Calculator: Calculating the maximum roof length of any profile, at any pitch, and for any rainfall intensity to achieve effective roof drainage.
- Maximum Area Above Spreader Calculator: To calculate the maximum allowable area feeding into spreaders.
- Maximum Area Above Penetration Calculator: To calculate the maximum allowable area above roof penetrations.
The rest of this update consisted of fixing minor errors and improvements for clarity.
