(a) Where protection is required, doorways, windows and other openings must be protected as follows: windows that are automatic closing or windows automatic (b)fire windows Alternatively, a radiation attenuation screen can be used provided a Fire Engineer can demonstrate that it meets the Performance Requirements of CV1 and CV2 in the BCA. When considering using mesh, you should consider the total Smoke Control provides a range of deemed-to-satisfy solutions that comply with the NCC for this application.

6 National Construction Code Compliance buildings. WERS or Window Energy Rating Scheme, enables windows to be rated for their annual energy impact on a whole house, in any climate of Australia. The WERS website is a great resource to determine your climatic region and You can then determine which type of National Construction Code Compliance; Other requirements There are several other NCC requirements including the use of safety glass, wind pressure, labelling, water minimum NCC requirements for these performance tests. Please contact us to discuss your desired system solution. printed. The glass can be formed into archs, polygons, triangles, circles and semi-circles before it is treated. Project case studies Maintenance Just like a car, painted sufaces need to be looked after. Painted surfaces are in fact protective coatings. While our protective coating will eventually allow corrosion. Therefore, regular inspection and maintenance in accordance with our warranty conditions is required for these systems, particularly when installed in onerous environments such as sea side locations. Smoke Control offers stainless steel window frames for projects located within 5 kilometres of the coast or other onerous environments. It is up to the customer to determine which framing material they desire for their project. 6
