Scyon Axon Panel is classified as a ‘non-combustible’ material that is suitable for cladding and complies with the requirements of C3.7 of Clause-C of the NZBC.

Traditionally, building frames are wrapped with building underlays – which means waiting for days before the internal building work can be started.

With the changes to the NZBC regarding fire protection becoming mandatory on 10 April, I've been fielding lots of inquiries about fire-rated systems using Scyon Stria and RAB Board.

The heat release rate of an external wall cladding close to boundary is required to be limited in order to prevent the cladding materials from igniting and contributing to fire.

With James Hardie's Linea™ Weatherboard you can achieve up to a 90 minute fire resistance rating.
