Fire Risk Assessment
Combustible Cladding

Combustible Cladding

Cladding or cladding system is often used, to enhance the appearance of the building by adding layers of insulation and weather resistance on external walls. E.g. panels, lining, attachments, facade finishes. When it is a combustible cladding system, it can significantly increase the risk to the life safety of occupants and firefighters as well as the risk of structural damage.

We provide Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) for existing buildings with combustible cladding materials such as Aluminium Composite Panels (ACP) and Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) etc.

Fire risk assessments include the following stages:
