This guide details the preparation, sequence and methods of installation of the Smartfit window and door system intobuildings.This document should be read in conjunction with BRANZ appraisal No. 868 (2014) and CodeMark™ certificate (cert noCMA-CM40120), which are included in this guide.

Product Description.

The Smartfit Window and Door installation system is a variant of the Altus Pacific suite. While the internal componentsare common to the Altus Pacific Suite, the external frame comprises of specially designed extruded aluminium sectionsand reinforced nylon injection moulded components, pre assembled to form an integral, weatherproofed window or doorready for installation in prescribed cavity wall cladding situations. The window and door units are manufactured inapproved production facilities.

The Smartfit Window and Door system enables windows and doors to be attached to buildings and made weathertightusing methods that differ from conventional detailing as outlined in NZBC Acceptable solution E2/AS1 Third Edition,Amendment 6 and the WANZ guide to Window Installation. The window or door is delivered to site ready for installationas a pre finished assembly complete with integral head and jamb flashings and sill support bar. The Smartfit windowand door system incorporates integral drainage mechanisms to receive, manage and discharge water safely from theinstallation to the exterior of the building. The window or door trim openings need no special preparation prior toinstalling units other than folding the building wall underlay inwards.

The Smartfit installation System can be used with following cladding types on a drained and ventilated cavity only*;

a. Masonry Veneer with 40 to 50mm cavityb. Stucco, and similar proprietary systemsc. Horizontal Bevelback Timber weatherboardsd. Horizontal rebated Bevelback Timber weatherboardse. Horizontal Rusticated weatherboardsf. Fibre Cement weatherboardsg. Proprietary Fibre Cement weatherboard systemsh. Flat sheet type claddings (FC sheet and Plywood)i. E.I.F.S, and similar proprietary systemsj. Aerated Autoclaved Concrete Panel systems (AAC)*k. Other cladding systems covered by a valid BRANZ appraisal that specify a nominal 20mm (minimum 18mm)

drained and vented cavity; or systems covered by a valid Codemark Product Certificate that specify a nominal20mm (minimum 18mm) drained and vented cavity.

l. Other cladding types not covered by the above are on application - Please contact Altus.

*May also be used in AAC panel systems that are closed cavity.

The Smartfit window or door frame outer facing is set at a fixed distance from the wall framing.Thinner cladding types will leave a larger gap to finish between cladding face and window facing.This can be overcome by selecting a larger cavity size than 20mm.Cavities larger than 20mm nominal (excluding masonry veneer) are outside the scope of the BRANZ appraisal andCodemark certification.Larger cavity sizes or variations away from the Smartfit detailing must be approved by the BCA prior to construction.

The Smartfit system can be used with any wall framing dimension depth and any thickness or type of rigid air barrier.

Special requirements

1. Wall Framing must at least protrude over slab edge2. Windows and doors are installed prior to any cladding fixing3. Wall underlay's must be either BRANZ appraised or CodeMark™ certified and be used within the limitations as stated by the manufacturer.4. Flashing tapes must be Smartfit branded tapes as supplied by the joinery manufacturer.

Features of the system

The Smartfit system improves weathertightness by reducing complexity and risk and simplifies the installation ofwindows and doors into buildings. The key feature of the Smartfit system is the relocation of the weatherline and airsealaround windows and doors out to the wall underlay line, or outer framing line. Current practice as described in E2 AS1shows the weatherline reaching all the way back to the internal wall lining, which consequently requires the buildingframing in this area to be protected by waterproof tapes in case of window or installation failure. The relocation of theweatherline and airseal line is possible by moving the at risk parts of the window or door frame out into the cavity andcladding space. This places less emphasis on window and door frame joints having to perform faultlessly over theirlifetime and eliminates the need for any protective taping measures in the trim opening and air seals back at the internalwall lining line. The window or door trim space around the reveal now becomes part of the internal wall space ratherthan an external weathering area.Other benefits of the Smartfit system are improved productivity on the building site and less materials required duringinstallation. The window or door comes as a complete ready to install package with no loose parts requiring separatefitting at the building site. The window or door is simply lifted into the opening and fixed. The installation is thencompleted by taping the joinery unit to the wall underlay to create a continuation of the wall underlay weatherline.Subsequent cladding can then be applied around the unit without the need for complex cladding cuts and critical sealingdetails around flashings.

The Smartfit installation system improves the current situation and better addresses adjacent wall systemweathertightness failure with water management features at all points of the connection between a window and thecladding.The Smartfit installation system is closely aligned with E2 AS1in terms of how windows connect to claddings and howfailure water from the installation or other areas is managed. Each Smartfit detail can trace a clear path back to theequivalent E2 AS1 detail but with the Smartfit advantages added.

Key Features;

• No flexible flashing tapes required within the window or door trim opening.• Sill support bar is inclusive in the window or door sill ensuring total and permanent support.• Head flashing, head flashing end dams and cavity closer are inclusive in the window or door head.• Jamb flashings are inclusive in the window and door jambs.• Sill corner soakers and drainage blocks are inclusive with and solid fixed to window or door frames.• No cladding saw cuts are required around head flashing horns.• No P.E.F rod and expanding foam or sealant air seals required between reveal and trim opening.• Less reveal packing and fixing.• Window is taped directly to outside face of building wall underlay with Smartfit flashing tape.• Window to wall framing trim gaps are not critically sized and can be insulated.• Window and door frames are square cut for joint strength.• Windows and some door frames reside over cavity space.• Simplification removes quality and material issues and the subsequent long term risk.

STEP 2 - Wall underlay preparation

2.1 Cut the wall underlay at 45° away from each corner.2.2 Fold flaps tightly into opening and secure on all sides.2.3 Trim off excess after fixing.

The Smartfit window and door system can be used with rigidair barriers (RAB). The reveal depth is altered to suit andfixing screw length should be adjusted accordingly. No silltaping of the trim opening is required if using a RAB

External sheet bracing to wall framing must leave an evenmounting surface for the window or door to seat properly onall sides. This may require the sheet brace to run pastwindow openings or stop sufficiently short to allow for finfixing and taping to occur.

STEP 3 - Position unit in opening

3.1 Position unit into opening.

3.2 Push outer fixing flange hard against the framing ensuring it isevenly seated and devoid of twist. Minor shimming under outer fixingfin is permissible to eliminate twist or to position window accurately tothe reveal wall board groove or architrave.

3.4 Use full depth rectangular packers between framing and revealto level the unit if required. If the floor or trimmer is straight and level,the window or door may sit hard down.

3.5 Diagonally measure to check for square and pack reveals ifrequired.
