WUI Certified
Products

Enhance the safety of your buildings with AL13’s fire-resistant panel and plank systems, certified to meet Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) standards.

What is WUI and why is it important?

The Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) refers to the zone where natural landscapes meet human developments, creating a unique area that combines both wilderness and urban elements. This interface is crucial as it presents significant challenges and opportunities for wildfire management, community planning, and environmental conservation. Effective management of WUI areas is vital to protect lives, properties, and natural resources from the increasing risk of wildfires, ensuring sustainable and safe development while preserving the natural beauty and ecological integrity of these regions.

Fire Testing - NFPA 285 Test

Fire testing is crucial for ensuring the safety and performance of building materials. At AL13, we rigorously test our cladding systems to meet and exceed fire resistance standards. 
The footage shown is from a test conducted on the AL13 Panel System, tested to the NFPA 285 Standard Fire Test Method for Evaluation of Fire Propagation Characteristics of Exterior Wall Assemblies Containing Combustible Components. The specific test depicted in the video was carried out on 4mm ACM panels.
