NEW Low CO2 High Carbon Sequestration Cladding
NEW FIRECRUNCH (FCA) K-CLAD, PASSIVE FIRE AND GENERAL CLADDING REPLACES HIGHLY POLLUTIVE NON-CARBON CAPTURE PLASTERBOARD
K-CLAD – PASSIVE FIRE AND FINISH BOARD TE and SE 10mm
Now you can specify Australia’s lowest priced and lowest CO2 emission and highest Carbon Capture Storage (CCS) cladding at a similar price to 13mm, and 30% less than 16mm Fyrchek MR, fire rated plasterboard. Ideal for townhouses and similar where common walls using 25mm plasterboard is exposed to weather before roof is on as FCA (MgSO4) is inert in water.
FireCrunch K-Clad and FloodClad (MgSO4) provide substantial additional benefits for internal or external use, for wet areas, humid climates (no paper linings). Long term low maintenance.
FCA (MgSO4) STAYS INERT IN WATER or flooding, repels mould and bacteria cannot survive, blocks termites, is up to 10 times stronger than plasterboard, all now at a similar cost and less than Fyrchek and similar plasterboards, WHILE ASSISTING THE PLANET.
K-FIRE 19 TG19 SL4 NEW SHAFT LINER PARTY WALLS
FireCrunch has developed a new Shaft Liner system FRL…/ 90/90, Rw 62/ctr 52 (APS) REG FE ASSESSMENT, plus NATA CSIRO tests under AS1530.4-2014 -2029.
These K-FIRE 19 shaft liner double stud party walls use a 4-sided 19mm TG board 2700 x 600mm and require no H-studs or U-track. Extra fast install, less labour and materials 10mm K-Clad on each OUTER side ONLY R 2.5 Glass wool cavity batt.
K-FLOOR TG19 2700 x 600mm
19mm TG 4-sided flooring system 2700 x 600mm with point load bearing 6.1kN and UDL NATA tests 96kN over 450mm joist separations REPLACES HEAVY EXPENSIVE CFC no pre-drilling fast fix regular timber tools drilling or cutting design system to FRL 90/90/90 floor-ceiling systems.
PASSIVE FIRE DECKING
Lower prices and affordable fireproof decking BAL FZ
Exterior, inexpensive, great looking, long life timber appearance 16mm BAL FZ, fireproof, non-combustible and fire resistant decking sheets: 2700 x 600 x 16mm.
K-Deck is totally non combustible up to 90 minutes at 1000 deg C. being a totally fireproof decking product. This is three times the maximum bushfire BAL FZ decking requirement. All other composite decking only makes it to BAL 29 or BAL 40 decking material. Finding a fireproof decking product BAL FZ timber appearance at a reasonable price is not easy, FireCrunch decking provides that option.
K-Deck TG 16mm Grooved Board

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| K-Deck | 600x2700 | 16mm | Tongue & Groove | 32kg | Groove |
K-CLAD COMPOSITE HIGH CO2 SEQUESTRATION CLADDING
REPLACES MANY DIFFERENT SINGLE PURPOSE CLADDINGS
Eliminates the need for 14 different types of cladding products and in one cladding product is ACOUSTIC (Rw62), INERT IN WATER, RESISTANT TO FLOODING AND NATA LABS CSIRO FIRE TESTED AS1530.4-2014 and much more.
A SINGLE 10mm SHEET FRL 90/90/90 ELIMINATES 2 x 16mm FYRCHEK 50% less materials and 50% less serious associated transport and extra handling, crane up, freight weight and double labour installation costs. Allows thinner fire and acoustic walls and more end user space so can increase ROI.
WHY WOULD YOU SPECIFY ANYTHING ELSE?
Particularly now as the Federal Government moves towards its 2030 Accord target of -43% CO2 reduction and public and BUYER awareness of CO2 issues IN CONSTRUCTION has never been higher.
PLANET FRIENDLY
Eliminates destruction of millions of Oxygen generating CO2 absorbing trees to make (now not so cheap), paper lined plasterboard.
Change for the better, at the same or similar costs, help the end buyer and help the planet with Australian climate responsible cladding choices.

SINGLE SHEET FIRE, FLOOD, AND TOP FINISH CLADDING
Use in fire separation walls where the surface finish produces a top class 4/5 commercial finish with just the AquaCrunch primer (internal only), Dulux Hi Precision undercoat and 2 finish coats, no additional sheeting is required.
New improved FCA FireCrunch building products save time, material costs, and labour while being a contributor to health and the environment by reducing CO2 emissions in manufacture. A healthier stronger product and adverse to damage from the severe Australian climatic conditions whilst lowering green house gas emissions by 90% AND INTERIOR / EXTERIOR applications.
Plus eliminating the destruction of millions of trees to make paper-lined plasterboard.
LOW COST – LOW MAINTENANCE
It is ideal for high traffic areas public buildings, medical centres, hospitals, schools, prisons, etc and wherever a long term life and low maintenance product is required.
SINGLE SHEET FIRE AND FINISH CLADDING AS1530.4-2014 (DTS) NATA CSIRO
Use in all fire separation walls where the board surface produces a top class 4/5 commercial finish with just a primer, undercoat and 2 top coats, no additional sheeting is required.
ELIMINATES UP TO 2 LAYERS OF PLASTERBOARD AND PROVIDES HIGH ACOUSTIC VALUE Rw62
Installation using FireCrunch products in firewalls eliminates up to 2 layers of plasterboard in general applications to FRL 90/90/90 with a single 10mm FireCrunch K-Clad firewall sheet each side of the frame.
Use in single or normal double stud discontinuous frame configuration (eliminates expensive shaft liner and Hebel systems).
ACOUSTICS
NATA Labs Killargo AS717.1 Rw62 in the standard format 90 x 45mm double stud frame eliminating expensive thick walls in Hebel and CSR, Boral Shaft Liner systems, all of which reduce floor leasing capacity and ROI.
Fire Wall Penetrations
CSIRO has assessed FCA to “REQUIRED” FRL ../90/90 WITH SNAP FIRE SYSTEMS FIRE COLLARS AND PENETRATIONS APPLICATION, USING 1 X 10mm FCA SHEET EACH SIDE TO FRL ../90/90. Eliminates multiple layers of plasterboard when you use SNAP Fire Collars.
Walls, ceilings, floors, roofs, plumbing and electrical.
With a NATA/CSIRO certification AS1530.4-2014 (C1..C19)-/ 2025 Fire Protection Level (FRL) of 90/90/90 and over, and a competitive price to match, FireCrunch offers construction projects and project managers tendering for such work with a unique benefit in cost reduction in fire separation wall materials. More so, in the expensive additional labour installation costs of multiple layers of weak high CO2 pollutive, 13mm and 16mm paperlined Fyrchek or similar plasterboard on each side of framing.
ELIMINATE EXPENSIVE FLOOR SPACE GRABBING, 300MM THICK, HEBEL AND CSR / BORAL SHAFT LINER FIRE WALL SYSTEMS
FCA reduces a fire wall thickness from up to 320mm to 220mm increasing floor space rental and ROI in USING double stud acoustic frames.
BOTH TIMBER AND STEEL TO FRL 90/90/90 AND TO 120/120/120 IN STEEL FRAMING.
Expensive, heavy, hard to install and brittle 75mm Hebel panels which require the addition of timber framed SERVICES panels and delays on wet wall construction plus the added installation of additional paper lined plasterboard in 13mm or 16mm Fyrchek add considerably to such m2 costs.
CSR AND BORAL Shaft Liner systems require expensive hard to handle 25mm 3000 x 600 Fyrchek and similar plasterboard, further H stud fixings and U tracks to secure, plus aluminium right angled clips top and bottom, dramatically increasing the cost per m2.
FCA K-Clad SE 10mm has none of these issues, screw directly to timber or steel framing with no steel separator top hat battens (unless a vapour barrier is required) in good building practice, in humid areas. FireCrunch is unaffected by rain unlike shaft liner Fyrchek plasterboard which has to be installed on the ground floor of town houses, etc. before the roof can be erected. FCA has no such issues.

FCA can Reduce Labour and Material Costs up to 70%
Frequently, fire walls of FRL 60/60/60 and above require multiple layers of plasterboard and more, it is the high cost extra labour content of such installations which significantly affects margins. The cost of up to three times the material in transport (billed on weight), three times the site unload, 3 x times the crane up load time, 3 x the number of sheets to be installed and set, is the reason why there is a fast growing huge shift in fire wall materials specification to FCA products.
50% to 70% decrease in overall costs
This weak and ineffective fire rated plasterboard material and expensive labour induced installation costs, can drop up to 70% when you choose FireCrunch. By using one layer of 10mm FireCrunch magnesium oxide building board, you can cut your costs significantly. FireCrunch interior and exterior lining and facades board on each side of a single 90mm or 76mm x 2 double stud fire wall steel or timber frame dependent on the FRL required.
FireCrunch is applicable in all forms of fire rated and non-fire rated construction in wall cladding, flooring, ceilings, roofing, truss liners, fire separation walls, fire rated boundary walls and many more.
