Oatley West Early Learning Centre

In September 2020, the Georges River Council’s new purpose-built Oatley West Early Learning Centre opened its doors. Being a childcare centre, fire safety is critical, and ALPOLIC™ NC/A1 delivers. As the name suggests, ALPOLIC™ NC/A1 is composed of a non-combustible mineral core containing zero polyethylene. It’s also the world’s safest aluminium facade product, currently the only composite material to be recognised in the highest fire protection class A1 according to European fire protection standard.

Along with its outstanding fire safety and durability credentials, Mitsubishi ALPOLIC™ NC/A1 offers a 20-year full cover warranty, which includes rectification costs for material failure. Sustainability was also a priority concern for the project. ALPOLIC™ has an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) produced by GECA, validating its status as an efficient cladding material, reducing not only maintenance costs and resources, but also building energy consumption.
