FAQs
The Dulux Acratex StoneShield Cladding System provides CodeMark compliant, weatherproof cladding and insulation system suitable for residential, commercial and low-rise multi-residential building applications.
The StoneShield system consists of FaçadeRock™ Dual Density (DD) Panels from Rockwool. FaçadeRock Dual Density Panels are an insulating material formed by melting inorganic stones obtained from volcanic rocks, and spinning them to form fibres, which are then compressed in panels. Because of the natural materials panels are made from, they are recyclable and are classified as Non-Dangerous goods by ICANZ - Insulation Council of Australia and New Zealand.
StoneShield is an alternative to masonry construction e.g. brick and AAC for non-load bearing walls. StoneShield can be used in non-cyclonic regions, for both single and double story residential constructions (Building Classes 1&10) and 2 to 4 story commercial construction (Building Class 2 to 9)
The StoneShield system is fire resistant and can be used for boundary and separating walls where fire rated performance (FRL) is required and is suitable for use in all Bushfire zones up to BAL-FZ.
Whether you’re a developer, architect, designer, builder or cladding installer, the StoneShield Cladding System delivers an alternative walling system to traditional masonry construction. It includes lightweight panels that are easily cut and fixed to timber or steel framing and then finished with a protective coating system.
The StoneShield Cladding System is designed as a totally integrated, multi-layered, non-load bearing lightweight cladding system for facades. Delivering a weatherproof external building envelope that provides excellent thermal performance (R-Value) with continuous insulation (CI) to reduce thermal bridging and also offers noise reduction as well as fire rated (FRL & BAL) performance.
The StoneShield cladding system is finished by an integrated multi-layered Dulux Acratex Coating System, incorporating a basecoat (render), aesthetic coat (texture) and protective membrane topcoats providing protection against environmental and climatic conditions. StoneShield is available in the full Dulux colour range.
