A CodeMarked system that lifts the whole frame above the floor, keeping bottom plates dry eliminating the need for DPC and allowing unwanted external moisture to escape, helping to ‘future-proof’ the building from expensive repairs and claims!
The HIANDRI system has been fully engineered to satisfy the requirements of NZS3604:2011, NZS1170:2002, NZS3603:1993 their amendments and the Building Code. More importantly HIANDRI packers have CodeMark Certification and are BRANZ appraised. Submitting the CodeMark Certificate and Installation Instructions to the Building Consent Authority (BCA) is an acceptable solution.

GENUINE FEEDBACK from real builds
I can assure you, it will be installed on all future jobs I’m involved in.
My Manukau Mitre10 rep, Johan Kuypers, first introduced me to HIANDRI bottom plate packers, as he knew what a nightmare of a winter I had been through, with wet timber, especially saturated bottom plates.
Costly heaters and dehumidifiers, that don’t really do the job, re-inspection fees and costly delays, there is no way I want to repeat that experience, now there is a great solution in HIANDRI bottom plate packers. The ideas mint, and so easy to either put on yourself, or have installed; I can assure you, it will be installed on all future jobs I’m involved in.

Keep your frames high and dry
Keep frames out of water
New Zealand climatic conditions can result in high levels of moisture being held in the timber framing for considerable periods of time. A bottom plate, high in moisture content, effectively acts as a barrier to allowing moisture to freely dissipate by gravity through the bottom plate. HIANDRI helps rectify this situation with its 12mm gap.

Why Hiandri?
5 reasons 5 reasons to go hiandri
Reduces building delays at ‘Pre-line’ stage
New Zealand climatic conditions can result in high levels of moisture being held in the timber framing for considerable periods of time. A bottom plate, high in moisture content, effectively acts as a barrier to allowing moisture to freely dissipate by gravity through the bottom plate. HIANDRI helps rectify this situation with its 12mm gap.
eliminate the ‘leaky home’ concerns
Over the past 15 – 20 years in New Zealand, we have all been subjected to the ‘leaky home’ syndrome; the cost of it, the stress of it and the huge additional expense it has added to building of homes in this country.
Future Saleability No Damp Proof Course required
The HIANDRI packer is made out of tough, durable polypropylene plastic that cannot absorb moisture, and transfer it to the timber or on to metal framing. It is in reality, a very effective ‘Damp Proof Course’ eliminating the need for traditional dpc’s such as malthoid. The cost of not having to install traditional damp proof courses, contributes in the order of $150 on an average New Zealand home and goes a long way to off-setting the cost of installing the HIANDRI system PLUS you get all its benefits!
Flexibility of Change no H3.2 timber bottom plates required
The fact that the timber frames can now drain, dry with air circulation, will never sit in water, the need for H3.2 treated timber bottom plates is unnecessary. The chances of a frame rotting is remote. Specify H1.2 treated timber. This saves about $0.50/m on the timber – just another reduction on the installation cost.
Easier to Erect Simplifies bottom plate fixing & improves connections
HIANDRI bottom plate packers are installed using standard bolting systems on concrete floors. The fact that the timber is lifted 12mm off the concrete simplifies the fixing process for the builder.

GENUINE FEEDBACK from real builds
I will be using them all year round
Attended lots of trade evenings and Master Builder presentations over the years, and Hiandri packers would be the best idea I have heard of, at one of these events. I left the meeting, knowing I will be installing HIANDRI on every job I did in future.
On my current job at Omaha, it is not uncommon to get half a metre of sand blown onto the floors over a weekend; we can now just get a blower to remove the sand and any puddled water that has not already escaped, solving a real problem for us.
Rob Mark Wilson
Master Builder, Matakana
it’s going on every frame we erect
When I first saw HIANDRI bottom plates in use, my immediate thought was ‘clever idea!’ The way we have been building is a major concern in the fact that, water is trapped between the bottom plate, the d.p.c and the floor, it just takes forever to dry, having that airflow around the plate is so important. It’s not just the plates; where you have several studs together, the moisture also saturates this block of timber and they also take an extremely long time to dry.

Hiandri is just a no brainer
There has always been an issue with wet timber in the building industry, particularly bottom plates, and when I saw Hiandri bottom plate packers being advertised in Build Magazine, my immediate reaction was, ‘about time someone solved this problem’ and the fact that the system was ‘Codemarked’ meant it was fully approved, so I jumped on the phone and ordered a bag immediately.

Hiandri comes highly recommended
In 2006, I designed and built a 392m² single level dwelling, at 8 San Marco Lane in Hamilton.
At the time of construction, I had to engage the services of John Oliver, who is a building consultant, regarding the masonry veneer on this house. John spoke to me about his invention, the HIANDRI bottom plate packer, which I immediately thought was a great idea and decided to install them under my own timber frames, which I did.
Over the past 8 years, John’s HIANDRI system has proved excellent and the system and frames have both performed and met all expectations. In fact, I have had a leaky shower tray that is proving difficult to locate and resolve; the fact that my timber framing is raised 12mm above my concrete floor is proving great insurance as any water will run under the plates and into the brick veneer cavity – in other words, I do not have to worry about my timber frames rotting.

it’s going on every frame we erect
The first thing the Building Inspector is going to do, is drive his moisture meter into the bottom plate, who wants to be told, it could be weeks before they can install linings – it’s just a no brainer to use this system!
We used to fire up the heaters and dehumidifiers, and run them at great cost, not to mention the time it took to then straighten the warped frames – those days are now gone. This is our first HIANDRI job, the pre-cutter did not do the top floor – madness; that won’t be happening again, it’s going on every frame we erect from now on, I can assure you of that – great system!

so easy to either put on yourself
I’m the first builder in the area to install HIANDRI, and a number of builders I know have called into the site; first comment. – ‘great idea’ – they are now all installing HIANDRI. The owner is also wrapped as he gets the long-term benefits of the product.
I will be using them all year round, having that airflow under the plates is so important. I said to my normal pre-cutter, ‘if you do not install Hiandri bottom plate packers on my frames, I go somewhere else’ that’s how much this innovation means to me – he installed them! I can highly recommend this system to all builders.
