DANGERS OF FLAMMABLE CLADDING
Combustible cladding in Melbourne has been proven to be a key factor in the rate and spread of flames that have contributed to the destruction of many multi-storey buildings. Such recent high-profile fires include the Lacrosse in Melbourne and Grenfell Tower in London.
Not only is combustible cladding more likely to spread flame quickly across large distances, but it also begins to warp and catch fire at a lower temperature than other types of cladding. It’s because of this that some jurisdictions have banned the use of it in future builds and are even calling for its removal from older buildings. While the presence of such cladding doesn’t necessarily indicate a fire hazard, the cladding is often used in certain areas that may not be identified. These can include around windows, on balconies, and as ornamental features.
