Multi-residential projects need compliant external walls. Here is how non-combustible woodgrain aluminium delivers the timber look at scale.
The multi-res challenge
Apartment and multi-residential facades must satisfy the National Construction Code's requirements for external walls, including combustibility. That has made many developers wary of timber-look products.
Non-combustible, by substrate
Solid aluminium is non-combustible to AS 1530.1, so it delivers the warm timber aesthetic buyers love within a specification certifiers are comfortable with - and without the combustible-core issues of some composite panels.
Coordinated across the building
Cladding, batten blades, soffits and trims can all be supplied in matching woodgrain finishes, so an entire development reads as one resolved facade.
Faster, lighter program
Lightweight panels reduce structural load and install faster than masonry, which matters on multi-level programs where time is money.
