element13 at Waterfront Apartments, Kingston Reclad

This Canberra recladding project saw 3mm solid aluminium cladding panels installed as part of a facade remediation.

The element13 system was chosen for a wide colour palette that gave the design team flexibility on finish selection.

Full compliance documentation — including CSIRO test certificates and NCC compliance pathways — was supplied to support the certification process.

3mm non-combustible solid aluminium panels tested to AS 1530.1 by CSIRO, with PPG PVDF coating for long-term colour retention. Independently tested for weather performance, impact resistance, and cyclonic wind loads.

This remediation project involved the removal of non-compliant cladding and replacement with non-combustible aluminium facade systems, meeting current NCC requirements.
