Fire performance is an important part of material selection, particularly for facades, commercial buildings, multi-residential projects, and other applications with specific fire requirements.
Timber is combustible, while solid aluminium is non-combustible.
However, compliance is never based on the batten material alone. The complete building system, including the finish, substrate, fixings, installation method, location, and relevant building requirements, still needs to be assessed for the specific project.
For builders, the safest approach is to check the applicable standards and project requirements before selecting or installing any batten system.
Eurowood’s aluminium batten range uses non-combustible aluminium, giving builders, homeowners, and commercial property owners extra peace of mind.
