Nucleo® Benefits and NCC Compliance
Nucleo® stands out as the ideal choice for architects, designers, and specifiers, offering an array of benefits that bring their visions to life:
Compliant to NCC 2022 F3P1 for Weatherproofing
These premium bonded aluminium panels have been tested to AS4284 and meet the stringent compliance requirements of NCC 2022, specifically fulfilling the F3P1 Performance Requirement and F3V1 Verification Method in Volume One, and the H2P2 Performance Requirement and H2V1 Verification Method in Volume Two.
These tests were conducted by an independent NATA-certified facility, commissioned by HVG Facades. The system was assessed using the fixed cassette fixing method and a flexible vapour-permeable weatherproof membrane. It was subjected to both cyclic and static water and wind pressures, in full accordance with the National Construction Code.
The test results showed:
- no evidence of cracking or fatigue,
- no leakage,
- no water on the inside surface of the façade, and
- no signs of water pooling.
Nucleo provides a fire-rated cladding solution.
Compliant to NCC per Testing to Both AS1530.1 and AS 1530.3
With no polymer in its core, Nucleo® is classified as non-combustible according to AS1530.1 and achieves a 0 rating for both Ignitability and Spread of Flame when tested to AS1530.3, making it an excellent exterior cladding option. This superior fire safety rating helps streamline the building approval process. We’ve gone above and beyond in our testing, with Nucleo® specimens assessed with both 20mm and 200mm perforations, as well as horizontal and vertical joints. This comprehensive testing was conducted in accordance with the NSW Cladding Product Safety Panel Report.
