We’re pleased to announce the release of the new DecoClad® BAL-40 Installation Guide, developed to support architects, designers, builders and installers in specifying and delivering DecoClad® cladding systems for bushfire-prone sites.

BAL-40 (Bushfire Attack Level 40) applies to sites with high bushfire exposure, including significant radiant heat and ember attack. For architectural projects in these areas, material selection and installation detailing must align with the tested system requirements to support compliance and improve building resilience.

The entire DecoClad® range offers a compliant cladding solution that is suitable for BAL-40 applications, providing a durable and safe answer for projects located in some of Australia's highest bushfire risk zones.

DecoClad®’s new BAL-40 Installation Guide complements the cladding system’s capability by outlining the approved installation method required to achieve BAL-40 compliance, giving architects and project teams clearer guidance for designing, documenting and delivering cladding systems in bushfire-prone environments.
