Benefits of Non-combustible Cladding
Non-combustible Cladding is Fire-resistant
Non-combustible cladding is made of material that will not burn and therefore presents a safe option for residential and commercial cladding. This is achieved by the material’s ability to change their form by melting as opposed to igniting or burning thus allowing for a lightweight and sustainable cladding solution.
Made from glazed material – Transparent Cladding allows more light
Non-combustible cladding can be made from glazed materials so that there is a transparent part to the cladding which allows light into the building. This is particularly the case if there is greenery around the buildings with no solid walls or glass.
Non-combustible Cladding is Cost Efficient
This type of cladding often costs less than other types, as it doesn’t require special materials or tools to install. For example, stone is often cheaper than glass or steel for fire safety cladding and can be used in many buildings.
Non-combustible Cladding is Versatile
Non-combustible cladding can be made from almost any material. This makes it a more affordable cladding option for modern buildings. It can be made from concrete or plastic and is also easy to look like stone or wood.
Most Non-combustible Cladding has a Newer Look
Non-combustible cladding can make older buildings look newer, as the materials are not as well-known as the other types and can blend in with the surrounding areas. This is particularly useful for such buildings located in areas with lots of industry or industry-related development.
Risks associated with flammable/
combustible cladding
1. Causes Fatal Incidents
Flammable cladding can cause fires to travel at extremely high speeds. The materials used in flammable cladding are highly flammable, which means that they burn out of control very quickly. This results in
Although it is illegal to place flammable cladding on buildings, many still do so illegally. This is particularly common in office buildings which are required to make their buildings look appealing. These fires spread at a much faster rate than those that involve normal cladding. As a result, many people are killed, and others are injured.
Fire safety cladding becomes damaged easily and changes shape after the first fire. This is due to the processes that occur during a fire. When the materials used in non-combustible cladding burn, they
Flammable cladding also causes a large amount of damage when it catches on fire. The flames on the outside of the building rise quickly and tend to melt certain building parts. Fire damage can also be caused inside the building in furniture, curtains, and anything else hanging on the wall.
In addition to causing fires, flammable cladding can also cause damage to other parts of the building. Debris can get trapped in the building, and this damages furniture and even central heating systems.
Flammable cladding provides an excellent surface for fire to spread along. Fire tends to cling to this material, and the flames can travel along with it at a rapid pace.
Flammable cladding is also bad for people’s health because it tends to produce a lot of smoke. This smoke contains different chemicals to which people are typically allergic or sensitive. These chemicals can

Completed Projects
In mid-2018, we were engaged by AJ Constructions Pty Ltd to do a “test case” regarding the issues involved with flammable cladding. We worked in conjunction with the VBA to ensure the flammable cladding was removed safely and without incident. Following that, we were required to install new cladding to the entire building. This cladding was required to be appropriately acceptable under the new VBA legislation.
Is your property safe, does your building have fire safety cladding?
The VBA has recently put together a project focusing on reducing the risk of fires in buildings that have been found to have combustible cladding. These types of cladding are EPS – expanded Polystyrene and ACP – aluminium composite panels with a polyethylene core. The initiative at this stage is targeting apartment buildings 3 storeys or more, hotels, motels or student accommodations 3 storeys or more and lastly hospitals, aged care facilities and schools 2 storeys or more. Although your property may fall into one of these categories, there will be many properties that don’t, it is so important to know whether your property has been affected by these types of cladding. As previously mentioned, the above noted are simply the properties the VBA have started to audit. For more information regarding combustible cladding ie; the dangers, how to find out if your cladding is combustible etc please refer to the VBA’s website https://www.vba.vic.gov.au/cladding
