2 Whether building a new home or replacing an old roof, choosing the right roofing solution is one of the most important decisions you can make. Your roof provides protection from the weather, creating a safe home for you and your family and it must stand the test of time. Viking oofspec offers a comprehensive roofing solution that will meet all your roofing requirements - EcoStar Tiles Viking EcoStar tiles capture the authentic appearance of natural slate with over 45 colour and profile combinations. Manufactured from recycled polymer, this is a practical solution for period homes; historic buildings; or for modern buildings requiring a slate finish. Light Weight The unique formulation of EcoStar renders several advantages over slate roofing whilst still offering the look and durability. Despite emulating Welsh slate, the EcoStar system is approximately half the weight; therefore placing less stress on the building structure. ecyclability Viking EcoStar tiles are the most environmentally friendly on the market, being composed of 80% postindustrial recycled rubber and plastics from the likes of old car bumpers; door mouldings; radiator hoses; and even off-cuts from the manufacture of disposable diapers! They are also 100% recyclable at the end of their useable life. Longevity The first line of defence against the weather is the roof. It is vital that you consider the importance of choosing a roofing tile that will protect your home from New Zealand s harsh weather conditions. Being manufactured from recycled polymers, EcoStar tiles: are flexible; won t crack; and have a high impact resistance; therefore providing protection from hail, snow, falling branches, and foot traffic. Temperature and UV esistance Every Viking EcoStar tile is formulated to resist extreme temperature variations. dditionally, UV testing (performed with a xenon-arc weatherometer ) have officially reported EcoStar tiles to comfortably withstand UV treatment consistently above those of New Zealand s conditions which are as strong as any in the world. Wind esistance The 175kmph wind rating (officially classified as Very High ) guarantees years of performance in tough conditions. Potable Water Viking EcoStar tiles are suitable for household water collection when a domestic water treatment system is installed. Safety The structural integrity of all Viking roofing products is enhanced through the installation of a timber sarking substrate onto which they are fastened. This durable and light-weight substrate, braces the entire building; negating the need for extra structural requirements for heavy weight roofing materials. Superior Substrate SuperStrand sarking is the best option as a substrate for EcoStar tiles. Designed in New Zealand, its benefits far outweigh the alternatives. For more information visit: Peace of mind ll Viking tiles have been assessed by the independent laboratory officially referenced by the uncompromising merican legal system Underwriters Laboratory (U.L.) - assessing their collective resistance to: wind uplift; UV; and impact. Craftsmanship To ensure that this critical quality control continues through to installation, Viking EcoStar tiles are installed by a nationwide network of Viking pproved pplicators selected and trained to install your roof to the highest of standards.

5 Case Study: Viking EcoStar THE ONLY NEW ZELND EXMPLE OF N ENGLISH BOQUE STYLE CHUCH; DEEMING IT SIGNIFICNT WELLINGTON LNDMK. EOOF OF N HISTOIC NEW ZELND BUILDING ST NDEWS CHUCH, WELLINGTON CHLLENGE: THE ST NDEWS CHUCH, LOCTED T 30 THE TECE IN WELLINGTON, IS UNDEGOING N EXTENSIVE UPGDE INVOLVING THEE PHSES. The first phase (completed in early 2009), involved renovating the external structure and roof. The roof needed to be replaced; structure strengthened for earthquakes; and concrete repair and treatment undertaken. Structural enhancement was also required on the tower to ensure it was securely attached to the remainder of the building. The St ndrews Church was originally constructed in s a category one Heritage New Zealand Building, its historic significance commands due respect in architectural conservation. This building is the only New Zealand example of an English Baroque style church; deeming it a significant Wellington landmark. Solution It was vital that the finish of the roof was sympathetic to the architectural era during which the building was erected. The pitched roofing solution needed to be assessed by all stakeholders, being: the client; the architect (Opus rchitecture, Wellington); the Wellington City Council; and the Historic Places Trust (known today as Heritage New Zealand). The client and architect visited another building with a Viking EcoStar roof to view the quality of installation and aesthetics. Both parties were impressed with its authentic appearance and the added advantage over traditional slate in that it s a lightweight roof. s a result Viking EcoStar (Majestic Slate) tiles were included in the specification document. ccordingly, on advice from the Historic Places Trust, the Wellington City Council approved the use of Viking EcoStar on the St ndrews Church. This roof was installed by a Viking pproved pplicator, whose workmanship was successful in doing justice to the building from both waterproofing and aesthetic perspectives. esult The 550m 2 St ndrews Church reroof was installed over a 2 month period using Viking EcoStar Majestic Slate tiles in Midnight Grey. The Viking EcoStar tile provided a watertight solution on the new plywood substrate. The finished look complemented the exterior of this outstanding and important New Zealand historical building.
