Timber cladding is an increasingly popular choice for Australian commercial and domestic buildings due to its striking natural aesthetic, durability and low environmental impact. However the strong fire-resistant qualities of timber are often unknown or poorly understood. This presentation clarifies combustible and non-combustible materials, the science of how timber reacts in a fire, and the building codes in relation to timber cladding and compliance. At the end of the presentation attendees will be able to; • Examine the nature of recent non-compliant cladding incidents • Recognize the fire resistant properties of timber • Describe in detail the DtS applications for timber cladding in the NCC
