Whilst every care has been taken in the preparation of Rondo Wizards, products and systems do change over time, and interpretations may vary, which means Rondo Building Services Pty Ltd cannot accept liability for the accuracy of information supplied (or lack thereof), or any consequences which happen as a result. Rondo Wizards are intended as a guide only and do not replace professional judgement. Installation of Rondo products must also be in accordance with the Rondo Professional Design Manual which is also available on the Rondo website. Design assumes ceilings are installed in accordance with the Rondo Professional Design Manual. Walls are to be checked independently.

Note: the Rondo Seismic Wizard can provide preliminary advice for vented / non pressure resisting ceilings. Typically fire rated and some acoustic rated ceilings need to be designed to accommodate additional internal pressure differentials as they form an effective seal between volumes. For fire or acoustic rated ceilings please refer to section ‘B2.4.2 PRESSURE RESISTING KEY-LOCK CEILING’ of the Rondo Professional Series, series NZ B2: KEY-LOCK CONCEALED CEILING SYSTEMS, or  contact Rondo to engage our free Internal Design Service.
