Challenges
Alternative Fire rating options were not realistic and without the F1E may have resulted in the timber cladding element being replaced.
Solution
Fireshell F1E was applied to the timber cladding.
Outcome
The performance requirements of the project were met with the existing design being preserved and the timber surface protected.
