Architectural Facade Cladding — Premium Brands, Australia-Wide Supply
Steel Source Australia supplies a curated range of premium composite panel and facade cladding systems for commercial, institutional, and residential construction. Our range covers every facade application — from standard aluminium composite panels (ACP) for signage and shopfronts, through to NCC 2022-compliant non-combustible cladding for multi-storey buildings.
We stock Alucobond® (the world's leading ACP brand, by 3A Composites) in both standard PLUS and non-combustible A2 grades, alongside MondoClad® solid aluminium panels and Nucleo® bonded aluminium from HVG Facades, Vetérro® high-density fibre cement cladding, and Alucore® aluminium honeycomb panels for large-format applications.
All products are available in a wide range of colours and finishes. Custom sizes, cut-to-size, and fabrication (routing, bending, cassette systems) are available on request. Contact us with your project details for product recommendations, fire compliance documentation, and pricing.
Product Summary
NCC 2022 Fire Compliance — Important Notice
Not all composite panels are suitable for all buildings. Alucobond® PLUS and Nucleo® contain combustible cores and are not suitable for buildings where NCC 2022 requires non-combustible external wall cladding (generally Class 2–9 buildings over 3 storeys). For these applications, specify Alucobond® A2, MondoClad®, Vetérro®, or Alucore®. Always verify compliance with your building certifier. Fire test certificates and NCC compliance documentation available on request.

Standards & Compliance
Australian & International Standards
NCC 2022 Volume One
National Construction Code — Fire Resistance
Section C governs external wall cladding combustibility requirements for Class 2–9 buildings. Specifies which building classes and heights require non-combustible cladding. Always verify compliance with your certifier.
AS 1530.1:1994
Combustibility of Building Materials
Australian standard for testing the combustibility of building materials. Alucobond® A2, MondoClad®, Vetérro®, and Alucore® pass this test. Alucobond® PLUS and Nucleo® do not — they contain combustible cores.
EN 13501-1
European Fire Classification
Alucobond® A2 achieves A2-s1,d0 classification — the highest non-combustible rating for composite panels under the European system. Widely referenced in Australian NCC compliance pathways.
ISO 1182:2020
Non-Combustibility Test
International standard for testing the non-combustibility of building products. Applicable to Alucobond® A2, MondoClad®, and Alucore® compliance documentation.
AS 4284:2008
Testing of Building Facades
Governs the structural and weathertightness performance testing of building facade systems, including wind load resistance, water penetration, and structural deflection under load.
AS/NZS 1170.2:2021
Wind Actions
Structural wind load standard. Panel selection and fixing system design must account for the wind region, terrain category, and building height. Engineering review required for large panels and high wind zones.
