Pathways to compliance: Understanding cladding and the requirements of the National Construction Code 2022

The facade and cladding system is one of the most important aspects of a building from a design perspective. However, defects relating to building facades and cladding systems are commonplace in buildings across the country. Against this backdrop, a thorough understanding of the performance requirements and testing procedures that impact facade and cladding systems is critical.

Pathways to Compliance: Understanding Cladding and the Requirements of the National Construction Code 2022 identifies the compliance pathways provided by the National Construction Code 2022 and some of the key requirements and testing procedures relevant to building facades and cladding. In doing so, we provide information necessary to evaluate different facade and cladding systems and highlight the benefits of solid aluminium as a compliant cladding solution.

Aluminium Facade Systems ProClad™ range is a complete non-combustible aluminium facade system, incorporating intelligent fixing methods to ensure maximum performance and lifespan of a facade. Architects, designers, developers, builders and contractors can feel confident when specifying ProClad™ products as they are 100% non-combustible (as tested in accordance with AS 1530.1 and AS 1530.3), require low maintenance, are backed by extensive warranties and have a high level of safety and durability. Aluminium Facade Systems is part of Alspec, the market leader in the design and distribution of innovative aluminium systems to the architectural market.
