    Vitracore G2: Carefully engineered non-combustible bonded aluminium panel

    Manufactured by Fairview; Vitracore Generation 2 (G2) was the first bonded aluminium panel awarded the status ‘deemed non-combustible’ under the Building Code of Australia (BCA) clause C1.9(e)(vii) and is fully tested as required to AS1530.1 and AS1530.3.

    Vitracore G2 is a profiled aluminium panel, with a core carefully engineered to deliver the many benefits that see the product outperform its solid aluminium counterparts. Visually, Vitracore G2 looks the same as traditional composite panel; but what makes it different is the technology of the core, which is constructed from an 100% aluminium structure rather than combustible material.

    The panels are lightweight and highly rigid for easy installation, making them a dream to fabricate and install. With tried and tested specialist coating technology for thinner aluminium layers, the quality of the PVDF finish is remarkable.

    With a limitless range of finish options, including solid, metallic, and multi-layer finishes such as spectra, chromatic, woodgrain, brushed and natural look, Vitracore G2 can meet any design intent.

    Vitracore G2 is a high-performance panel and ideal for all façade and soffit applications. It is a perfect solution for application on Type A, B, and C constructions including hospitals, mixed-use developments, and residential projects.

    Introduced to the marketing in 2015, Fairview has supplied over 1 million sqms of Vitracore G2 to new build and rectification projects across Australia.
