UBIQ INEX>WEATHERBOARD for Replacement Dwelling in BAL-FZ Zone Project
Typical suburban homes are categorised by the Building Code of Australia as Class1a, which covers detached residential homes, attached townhouses, villas and row houses. New constructions and redevelopment of structures are advised to be built following the Australian Standard AS 3959-2009 of Construction of Buildings in Bushfire Prone Areas.

The Blue Mountains suburb of Winmalee, NSW was struck by devastating fires in 2013. During the redevelopment phase, Ian Gough of A Grade Construction was tapped to build two replacement dwellings in the area. External walls that meet BAL-FZ Certification FRL of 30/30/30 was one of the requirements needed for the project.

The previous owners wanted to retain the weatherboard finish of their new home. Ian Gough chose UBIQ INEX>WEATHERBOARD after doing research for cladding materials that will likely meet project specifications. INEX>WEATHERBOARD offered the best and most affordable solution.

INEX>WEATHERBOARD provides maximum fire-rated protection of up to FRL of 60/60/60 - twice the requirement set for the project. Cladding weatherboards are directly fixed to the surface wall since it doesn't require an additional fire rated plasterboard, substantially saving on costs, resource and time.
