11In the wake of the Grenfell Tower tragedy, UK construction and building regulations have undergone significant revisions, with fire safety at the forefront of new cladding system requirements. The façade systems used in buildings must now meet stringent fire-safety classifications, particularly for high-rise structures.
One of the most promising solutions is Rockpanel cladding, a highly fire-resistant material that is classified as A2-s1, d0. This means that it is non-combustible and has limited contribution to fire growth, making it ideal for public buildings and high-rise residential projects.
Beyond fire safety, Rockpanel products are also eco-friendly, made from basalt rock, and contribute to sustainable building practices. Their lightweight structure makes installation easier and faster while maintaining a strong aesthetic appeal. Rockpanel cladding systems offer a combination of design freedom and fire safety, ensuring that architects and contractors can meet both regulatory standards and visual expectations.
