Recladding
Following several fire tragedies caused by the use of highly flammable cladding, fire safety has become a major concern for Australian builders and construction professionals. Against the backdrop of increasingly stringent building regulation, it is critical for professionals to meet growing demands for fire safety and performance through careful specification of fire safe and non-combustible cladding products when replacing combustible materials.
