FAQ

The base is formed as a slab, install hydrostatic valve and pipework, place reinforcement as per engineering drawings ( you can download pool engineering drawings by registering and logging back in ) Place starter bars to the perimeterand then pour the slab with or with slope it's your choice.

The reinforced concrete core is the load bearing wall and the ZEGO is simply stay in place formwork for casting the concrete to the engineers specification for your structure.

Yes, batten the wall then fix the metal cladding. Seal the bottom of the wall with a metal capping and install an approved termite barrier.

Make sure first that you have good drainage behind the wall. Yes you then simply apply your prefered acrylic tile adhesive, then lay your tiles, grout up your joints and clean up.

Reinforced Acrylic Render ( with or without texture) is the most commonly used finish and will provide an impact resistance surface able to resist all normal treatment associated with domestic and commercial constructions. Installation Firstly, brush down the surface to remove any debris Trowel on 4mm of base coat acrylic render (render to comply with CA26 Compliance) Roll out the reinforcement mesh for the render and trowel onto the surface Do not staple the mesh to the wall Overlap the slabs edge by 50mm minimum Cut 45 deg from the corner of the window openings Measure the reveal back to the windows, then measure, cut the mesh and fold back onto the reveals Ensure you reinforce the corners with additional reinforcement mesh Trowel on another 4mm of base coat On completion, an 8mm base coat with reinforcement mesh in the centre for impact resistance

Yes and this is simple to do. Here are a couple of examples. - Prior to plasterboarding the walls simply remove the foam surface and this will make a recess. Plaster the recess and you have a nice niche for artwork, photo frames etc. - If you require a deeper niche, simply place formwork to form the niche prior to concreting - If you require downlights or uplights to the opening you again form out for these

Use the normal picture hook ( these have a hole at 45deg) and nail into the plasterboard. The plasterboard will take the weight of pictures and wall hangings up to 10-15kg. For heavier items simply mount back to the concrete core.

Comments: At 600 Deg C ZEGO F grade flame retardant EPS will begin to melt. ZEGO Is made of 98% air and there is less Parts Per Million PPM than that of hardwood when burnt. As with burning timber toxic fumes are given off. ZEGO Complies with all building codes in Australia and World Wide and unlike timber ZEGO's uses self extinguishing F grade EPS Flame Retardant foam

150 Series: For up to two storeys with Timber first floor only. For areas with wind load of 41mps or less.

200 Series: Up to three levels above grade with concrete suspended slabs between levels.

250 Series: Ideal for below grade retaining walls and multiple level construction. Pool, watertanks, and civil works pits etc.

Fire Form: Available in a choice of insulating thickness and core width. As the name suggests, a fully certified fire rated form system for party walls, boundary walls and fire seperation spandrals.

ReFORM: A fully strippable and reuseable formwork system for basement carparks, watertanks, swimming pools and for clients who require an external solid concrete surface to the outside of their building. ReFORM can be used in conjuction with ZEGO Fire Form insulating panels which provide not only insualtion but a service duct area for the plumbing and electrical/data services to run in without structual damage to the concrete core.

A builder can build the external walls of your home in ZEGO for the same cost as a brick veneer home!

However, benefits of ZEGO vs Brick:

• A ZEGO Home will save you 50% to 80% of your annual heating and cooling costs. Thereby, reducing the greenhouse emissions from the powerstations as they don't have to produce as much power for ZEGO home owners.
• ZEGO Homes are 6 to 9 times stronger than a traditional home due to the reinforced concrete core.
• Cyclone rating is easily achieved.
• Speed of construction is 1 to 1.5 weeks faster per floor level.
• Less labour to be organized.
• Easy clean up.
• Simple installation of ducted vacuum, plumbing and electrical / Data Services without structural damage.
• Quieter and more peaceful to live in.
• Greater resale value as energy effeicent homes become more popular.
