Metalline’s new Unity solid aluminium cladding panel is A1 fire rated and completely non-combustible

Buildings.

The continuing fire risks associated with high-rise developments have seen specialist cladding manufacturer Metalline develop Unity, a new (A1 Fire Rated to EN 13501-1) non-combustible solid aluminium cladding panel. It is ideal for both new-build and as a replacement for buildings currently fitted with non-compliant ACM, HPL and timber cladding. The rainscreen panel is highly functional with exceptional mechanical properties, including strength, durability and fire-resistance.

Unity A1 panels are one of the few large-format cladding panels that are truly 100 per cent non-combustible, achieving an A1 classification to BS EN 13501-1. The system has also been subjected to a full-scale BS 8414-2:2020 test (Fire Performance of External Cladding Systems) and is compliant to BR135 requirements. The test conducted was one of the first performed within the UK to the May 2020 regulations.

Unity A1 Panels are available in a range of finishes dependent on specific design requirements. A process of continuous coil coating or anodising provides a high performance and non-combustible finish to a solid aluminium substrate.
