Insulation

Featuring luxury apartments, a five-star hotel, WELL certified offices, retail and 2,000sqm of public space, Collins Arch was a hugely ambitious project - equally with ambitious environmental goals. With 15 floors of hotel space and at least 24 residential apartments, insulation became a key consideration for the project.

Wall and ceiling linings in the updated National Construction Code (NCC) of 2016, some insulation products that were previously compliant, became non-compliant. Therefore it is imperative that specifiers check the compliance certifications of any product before specification. Download this whitepaper for a detailed look at the changes to testing requirements and the issues specifiers should be aware of when specifying under slab soffit insulation products.

A Group Number is the system used to classify materials proposed for ceiling linings. According to the National Construction Code, volume 1 internal wall and ceiling linings within class 2 to 9 buildings must comply with specific fire hazards.

Pliable building membranes (also known as ‘sarking’ or ‘underlay’) are primarily used as one or more control functions as a water, thermal, vapour or air control. The new code has two new key amendments for sarking; firstly, the NCC 2019 allows the use of sarking (provided it meets the applicable criteria) to be used in non-combustible external wall applications.Download the free Fletcher Insulation technical bulletin outlining the key changes in the NCC 2019.
