DECO Australia’s aluminium cladding system, DecoClad®, has successfully passed Australian Standard 4284 – Testing of Building Facades, meeting the stringent weatherproofing requirements set out by the National Construction Code (NCC).
Are you wanting to keep up with the latest NCC changes? Navigating how updates to the NCC affect cladding compliance can seem perplexing, but it is crucial to understand the most important parts for builders, designers and architects, to ensure they can be factored into new designs.
The NCC 2022 Volumes 1 and 2 Performance Requirements F8P1 and H4P7 for Class 1, 2 and 4 states “Risks associated with water vapour and condensation must be managed to minimize their impact on the health of occupants.”

The National Construction Code (NCC) 2022 will see some sections become mandatory from 1 May 2023. Included here will be reference to the new Australian Standard: AS 1288:2021 Glass in buildings — Selection and installation with specific changes to Balustrades.
With New South Wales accepting the NCC 2022 as is, Australian Glass Group added to our analysis on NatHERS 7 Star simulations by including West Sydney to the simulations

Building Ministers met last week and agreed to the NCC 2022 as proposed. This represents a significant turning point in the energy efficiency improvements of our built homes going forward.
Australian Glass Group is one of over 100 organisations standing together in joint support of passing the planned improvements within the Energy Efficiency section of the NCC 2022 for Residential new builds.
With the upcoming NCC 2022 changes coming and a strong focus on improving the thermal performance of our homes, we will see the need for higher Insulation performance from our glass, especially in colder climates.
The NCC 2019 brought in significant changes to all new Commercial builds within Australia. With the increased minimal performances introduced, we saw a jump in the required performance of our glass and glazing – specifically, increased Insulation (se
The latest NCC (National Construction Code) 2022 amendments have, again, presented several changes that could affect the compliance and performance requirements for building cladding and façade systems, plus other construction materials and methods.
The 2017 Grenfell Tower fire in London put combustible building materials, legislation, and industry practices under the spotlight, and highlighted the fatal failings of the combustible materials used in the external wall.
