The term combustible cladding generally refers to façade materials capable of contributing to fire growth or spread.
However, the fire performance of an external wall cannot always be determined by looking at the visible cladding panel alone.
The complete wall build-up can include:
Combustible materials may be present within various façade systems, including some:
The specific materials and construction need to be established for the building concerned.
Where removal is required, the existing ACM system can be dismantled in a controlled manner.
This may include:
See our ACM Cladding Removal service.
Where existing records do not establish the wall construction, intrusive investigation may be required.
Our dedicated survey team can undertake façade opening-up and external wall investigation.
The presence of combustible material does not by itself determine the final remediation solution.
The appropriate approach may involve:
Where removal is required, works need to be planned around:
See our Cladding Removal Services.
Replacement can involve designing and installing a new façade system appropriate to the requirements of the project.
See our Cladding Replacement Services.
Trident Facades can support the progression from investigation through to physical remediation.
