ALUCOBOND PLUS and ALUCOBOND FaceFastened Pass NFPA 285 Fire Code Testing
Approval gives architects, specifiers and installers more choices when designing and developing multi-story buildings
ALUCOBOND PLUS aluminum composite material and ALUCOBOND FaceFastened have successfully passed third-party NFPA 285 testing on a wood-framed assembly, commonly used in low-rise, multifamily and mixed-use market segments. What’s more, the positive result expands the opportunity to utilize the systems on steel stud construction and mass wall assemblies.
NFPA 285 is a fire test method that evaluates how fire is expected to spread on an exterior multi-story wall. This outcome positively confirms that ALUCOBOND PLUS panels, installed utilizing ALUCOBOND FaceFastened, are compliant with standards set by the International Building Codes, paving the way for its use in future projects.
