Today’s Australian buildings must meet higher standards than ever. The National Construction Code (NCC 2022/2025) raises the bar on energy efficiency, fire safety, acoustics and condensation management—and requires clear Evidence of Suitability from design through construction to handover. Every part of the building plays a role.
Our solutions for roofs, ceilings, walls and floors deliver thermal and acoustic performance to help create comfortable, energy‑efficient spaces that support compliance with Section J for commercial buildings and NatHERS targets for homes, across all NCC climate zones. From intertenancy walls and mid‑floors to pitched and flat roofs, we offer systems that are designed for Australian conditions.
For safety and compliance, our interior and exterior systems are engineered to help you achieve required fire performance—such as FRLs, group numbers to AS 5637.1, and non‑combustibility where specified for Type A and B construction. Many of our insulation solutions are non‑combustible*, so they can be specified with confidence in buildings of any height and in applications where the NCC requires non‑combustible components. For bushfire‑prone sites, we offer guidance and systems to support compliance with AS 3959 at the required BAL level.
Our aesthetic ceiling tiles, gypsum wall linings, glasswool insulation and exterior wall solutions provide creative freedom while meeting acoustic criteria and the NCC’s fire hazard properties. Where projects target Green Star or WELL certification, we can support with relevant documentation, including product data and EPDs.
With a broad range of products and tested systems for every building type, supported by local compliance evidence and practical technical advice, we’re here to help you deliver better Australian buildings—from the floor to the roof.
*Non‑combustible as defined by the NCC when tested to AS 1530.1. Verify project‑specific requirements, state/territory variations and bushfire assessments.
Our diverse product range is tailored to support fire safety, enhance acoustics, maximise energy efficiency, and upgrade aesthetics, without compromising on building design and performance.
Whether you're a specifier, contractor, installer, homeowner or distributor of our product, you can build on us. Our dedicated performance hubs share Knauf’s expertise and experience on the factors that make for better buildings.
