Screenwood’s Group 1-3 certified linings deliver visionary aesthetics, acoustics, and compliance for Australian commercial and public buildings.
Why Fire Certification Matters
Internal linings influence fire spread in commercial buildings and require Group Fire Ratings to comply with safety codes. Group 1 offers minimal fire growth, ideal for exits, corridors, and high-risk areas like health and education spaces.
Our Group-Rated Products
Screenwood provides decorative and acoustic linings across Groups 1 to 3 for walls, ceilings, and curves in commercial, healthcare, retail, education, hospitality, and residential projects. All are Australian-made with premium finishes.
