Of course – we design our sheds and patios to the 2019 National Construction Code of Australia, as well as AS/NZS 4600-2018, AS/NZS 1170.0,.1,2,3,4-2011, AS2870-2011, AS3600-2018 Australian standards.

Our sheds and other builds are made using Stramit® roofing, wall cladding and other roll formed steel products. These are made from steel coil which has been independently tested and found to have a Spread of Flame Index of 0, in accordance with the Australian Standard AS1530.3. 

This means that Stramit® products made from these steel sources and with the tested finishes would be considered non-combustible according to NCC 2019 Volume One Part C1.9(e) and Volume Two Part 3.7.1.1.

It is important to note that Stramit® sheeting is only one component used in construction of these building elements, and other components must also meet the necessary requirements to satisfy the criteria.

For information on performance of residences in a bushfire situation, please refer to the bulletin based on the NASH Bushfire Standard on the Bluescope® website.
