Why woodgrain aluminium in New South Wales

Most of the population sits near the coast - Sydney, the Illawarra, the Mid North Coast and the Northern Rivers - where salt-laden air is relentless on a finish. Marine-grade aluminium does not rust like steel or grey off like oiled timber, which is why it earns its place from Wollongong up to Byron.

Inland and across the ranges, NSW carries some of the country's most active bushfire-interface land, so a non-combustible substrate to AS 1530.1 is a real advantage when you are detailing for a BAL rating. It also reads well in the state's combustible-cladding rectification context: specifying a non-combustible external wall material from the start avoids the conversation that has dogged so many NSW buildings.

Choosing for New South Wales usually starts with where the project sits on the salt-to-inland spectrum. A coastal build wants marine-grade corrosion resistance first; west of the ranges the priorities flip to thermal stability and, in bushfire-interface country, the non-combustible substrate. The product is the same board in every case - what changes is the detailing, which we confirm per project.
