Manufactured by Fairview; Vitracore Generation 2 (G2) was the first engineered aluminium panel awarded the status ‘deemed non-combustible’ under the Building Code of Australia (BCA) clause C2D10(6)(g) and is fully tested as required to AS1530.1 and AS1530.3.
Vitracore G2 is an engineered panel designed for high performance as a façade material, that is half the weight, 5x more rigid and has 70% greater resistance to oil canning than its solid panel counterparts.
The panels are lightweight and highly rigid for easy installation, making them a dream to fabricate and install. With tried and tested specialist coating technology for thinner aluminium layers, the quality of the PVDF finish is remarkable.
With a limitless range of finish options, including solid, metallic, and multi-layer finishes such as chromatic, woodgrain, brushed and natural look, Vitracore G2 can meet any design intent.
Vitracore G2 is a high-performance panel and ideal for all façade and soffit applications. It is a perfect solution for application on Type A, B, and C constructions including hospitals, mixed-use developments, and residential projects.
