A High-Rise Fire Killed Catherine BUT The Cladding Firm Kept Selling

The Industry Leader in Testing Combustible Cladding Highlights Importance of Determining the Composition to Inform the Flammability Risk of Combustible Cladding
Combustible cladding remains one of the most pressing safety issues affecting apartment buildings across Australia. Many Owners Corporation Committees are grappling with the implications — from non-compliance notices to skyrocketing insurance premiums and safety concerns for residents. With heightened regulatory focus and growing urgency to resolve these issues, building owners need a structured, expert-led pathway to rectification. At ExcelPlas, we specialise in assisting the combustible cladding rectification through a comprehensive testing and analysis service. Our process begins with a detailed assessment of the façade, followed by the analysis of the cladding to determine the composition and flammability risk. These outline the required outcomes while allowing flexibility in materials and methodology — ensuring the most cost-effective and compliant solution.
