Challenges
Preserve some existing surfaces and match new cladding whilst achieving the required ignition and flame spread performances.
Solution
Fireshell F1E was applied to the existing timber cladding, posts, facia and window frames to achieve a suitable ignition barrier on the surfaces. The surfaces were given a topcoat to suit the specific colour requirements of the base.
Outcome
The Fireshell F1E offered a cost-effective and efficient solution to achieve these requirements whilst also complying with bushfire resting timber requirements under AS3959.
