The National Construction Code sets requirements for the combustibility of external walls, particularly on class 2-9 buildings. Following several high-profile cladding fires, scrutiny of combustible external wall materials tightened considerably.
A non-combustible substrate such as solid aluminium helps a facade satisfy these provisions, but compliance is assessed on the complete wall build-up, not a single component.
