Recladding without compromising on design
In the UK, there are at least 2135 high-rise and high-risk buildings that have combustible material on their façade (ROCKWOOL Group, 2018). Today, for all new buildings with a storey at least 18 m above ground level, all materials within the external wall should be non-combustible (European fire classification A1 or A2-s1, d0).
The consequence is that many building owners wish to reclad their existing buildings with non-combustible materials that comply with the new regulations.
