Many apartment buildings across Australia have balcony enclosures installed by unit owners – often non-compliant with NCC C2.6, which requires spandrel fire separation between vertically separated units. Nilfire has developed a glazing system tested to AS 1530 Part 4 achieving -/60/60 FRL, with assessment from BRANZ (NATA accredited) confirming full compliance with C2.6. The system can be installed internally – behind existing non-compliant glazing – or externally with new non-rated glazing above, suitable for both retrofit and new enclosure projects.
