Redco engineering Group 2S opinion
MetecnoPanel is a lightweight sandwich panel with a built in PIR fire resistant core.
MetecnoPanel employs a specifically designed labyrinth joint to ensure excellent insulation to insulation contact. The MetecnoPanel metal to metal joint on each side has been engineered to ensure positive sealing in cold storage applications. MetecnoPanel is available in a variety of thicknesses and three different finishes.
Durable and aesthetically attractive, MetecnoPanel wall and ceiling panels provide high thermal resistance, mechanical resistance and dimensional stability. Metecnopanel is suitable for all insulated panel applications including cold stores and freezers. it is also used in developments such as supermarkets, bulk goods, fast food and retail outlets as well as commercial and industrial premises. The panel's exceptional strength allows greater spans and a substantial reduction in the buildings support structure.
INNER SKIN PROFILE OPTIONS
MetecnoPanel is available with different inner skins. Please ask Metalcraft Insulated Panels if the skin you prefer is available for your project as minimum order quantities might apply.

What is FM Approval
Architects and builders may be requested by their client to design and construct buildings to FM Global standards. FM Global is an international insurer specializing in the corporate sector. They have developed their own internal suite of standards for evaluating the potential performance of building materials to better assesses risk for insurance purposes. Approval to FM standards includes both a rigorous testing regime and yearly auditing of manufacturers facilities to ensure that the initial standard is maintained.
As rigorous as FM Global’s standards are, the New Zealand Building Code (NZBC) requirements must be met independently and override insurer or FM testing requirements.
FM 4880 Standard
FM 4880 Approval Standard for Class 1 Fire Rating of Insulated Panels, Interior Finish Materials, or Coatings and Exteriors Wall Systems evaluates a panel’s ability to contribute to a fire in a variety of different ways, through a small corner test or larger scale corner test. FM 4880 Approval for Class 1 Fire rating has two grades available:
Class 1 Limited Height – Products must to pass a 25 foot corner test and various other testing;
Class 1 No Height Restriction – Products must pass a 50 foot corner test and various other testing.
FM 4881 Standard
FM 4881 Approval Standard for Class 1 Exterior Wall Systems provides a wide range of Approval ratings to allow manufacturers to target exterior wall systems for almost any geographic area, up to and including cyclone-prone regions. This Standard addresses the natural hazards to which exterior walls are commonly exposed, including the cyclic nature of high-wind events (eg. tropical cyclones), and the impact of windborne debris.
Exterior wall systems must first meet the requirements for Class 1 Fire Rating (FM 4880) and are then tested as necessary for ‘wind load rating’, ‘windborne debris resistance’, and ‘Hail-resistance ratings’.
FM 4471 Standard
FM 4471 Approval Standard for Class 1 Panel Roofs states the requirements for meeting the criteria of this Standard for fire, wind, foot traffic and hail damage resistance.
It sets performance requirements for panel roofs, which includes all components necessary for installation of the panel roof assembly as a whole, including the potential for fire spread on the underside and exterior of the roof panel, and its ability to resist simulated wind uplift resistance, whilst maintaining adequate strength and durability.
FM Accreditations
Bondor’s MetecnoPanel® satisfy the requirements for Class 1 approval, and as such have achieved FM Approval 4880 No Height Restriction. MetecnoPanel also satisfies the requirements for FM Approval 4881 No Height Restriction.
MetecnoSpan® satisfies the requirement for FM Approval 4880 No Height Restriction, FM Approval 4881 No Height Restriction and FM Approval 4471. For further technical information on FM Approval’s 4471, 4880 and 4881, please refer to the documents below.
