Zeno-Clad™: The Non-Combustible Board and Batten Cladding Solution Architects Trust
By Marcio Da Silva, GM of Architectural Specifications - No.1 Roofing & Building Supplies
In an era of increasing compliance demands and shrinking project timelines, architects need cladding solutions that deliver performance without complexity. Enter Zeno-Clad™ — the board and batten metal profile from No.1 Roofing & Building Supplies that’s redefining how architects specify façades.
A Familiar Look, Engineered for Today
Zeno-Clad™ captures the timeless appeal of board and batten cladding, but replaces traditional materials with robust, non-combustible metals. The result? A profile that meets the aesthetic expectations of clients while satisfying the stringent requirements of the National Construction Code (NCC).
Because it’s made from metal, Zeno-Clad™ is non-combustible by default — no additional testing, no special approvals. It’s suitable for use in all building types, including those in bushfire-prone areas and projects requiring AS 1530.1 compliance.
Simplified Detailing, Smarter Installation
Architects know that complexity in detailing can lead to cost blowouts and construction delays. Zeno-Clad™ has been designed for ease — its interlocking profile allows for fast, accurate installation with minimal fuss. Concealed fixings and crisp vertical lines ensure a clean finish, whether used as a feature element or across full façades.
This simplicity extends to maintenance. Unlike timber, Zeno-Clad™ won’t warp, rot, or require repainting. Its durable surface resists corrosion and fading, making it ideal for Australia’s harsh climate and coastal environments.
Versatility Without Compromise
Available in a range of finishes — from raw metallics to pre-painted colours — Zeno-Clad™ offers design flexibility without compromising compliance. Its modular nature supports both contemporary and heritage-inspired designs, and its vertical rhythm adds texture and depth to any elevation.
Whether you're working on a residential infill, a community centre, or a multi-residential development, Zeno-Clad™ provides a reliable, compliant, and visually striking solution.

- Non-combustible by nature — compliant with NCC and AS 1530.1
- Faster installation — interlocking profile with concealed fixings
- Low maintenance — no painting, no warping, no worries
