Why Choose SIDERISE

Full system tested in New Zealand

SIDERISE is one of the few products in New Zealand to have undergone full system testing to BS8414: BR135, in conjunction with Alucolux, AliClad, and Equitone on timber framed construction.

45+ years of facade fire protection

SIDERISE has provided acoustic, fire, and thermal insulation solutions for building facades for over 45 years, with industry-leading third-party certified passive fire protection systems.

Designed for building movement

Vertical barriers accommodate cladding serviceability movement, and the system is tested to EN1364-4 to ensure building movement will not affect fire performance — giving specifiers confidence across all facade types.

SIDERISE Overview

The default choice for high-performance facade fire protection

SIDERISE offer some of the most technically advanced fire protection and noise control solutions in the world. Their cavity barrier systems have become the default choice for high-performance, comprehensive fire protection for exterior cladding systems internationally — located within the drained and ventilated cavity of the external envelope to ensure free drainage while providing a fast and effective fire barrier.

SIDERISE has now been successfully tested in conjunction with Alucolux, AliClad, and Equitone in New Zealand using BS8414: BR135 to contribute to the control of spread of fire in timber framed construction. The installation is easy with either proprietary brackets or screw fixing, and the system is designed to be site-modifiable to allow for building tolerances.
