ABOUT VITRACORE G2

Vitracore G2 is Australia’s leading deemed non-combustible aluminium composite panel.

The benefits of Vitracore G2 include its high mechanical properties and simple fabrication. The outstanding
surface flatness of is enhanced with a high quality PVDF coating system, which provides optimum resistance to
weather and industrial pollutants and comes in an unlimited range of colours, as well as a selection of natural
finishes.
100% developed and manufactured by Fairview, Vitracore G2 is exactly the same as traditional aluminium
composite panel, however, the advanced technology of the core is constructed from a complete aluminium
structure rather than from a combustible material as per traditional composite panels.
Not only is does it look similar to traditional ACP, it is also the same to fabricate and install. The technology of the
core also allows continual production; providing an exceptionally consistent and cost effective product.
Vitracore G2 is ideal for all façade and soffit applications requires minimal maintenance and comes with a 15 year
warranty with longer warranties available on a project specific basis.

In today’s architecture, it is the technical details, as well as the appearance that count; such as sustainability,
thermal insulation, and fire protection. The specification and use of non-combustible façade panels has now
become an industry norm amongst architects and industry professionals.
Vitracore G2 was the first ACP panel to be awarded the status ‘deemed non-combustible’ under the Building Code
of Australia (BCA) including Clause C1.12 part (f) and is fully tested to AS1530.1 and AS1530.3. Vitracore G2 is the
proven choice for use where non-combustible cladding must be specified such as hospitals, schools and high-rise
buildings.
Here are the test results of Vitracore G2.
