THE BASROC SYSTEM
HIGH-PERFORMANCE, SUSTAINABLE CLADDING
SOLUTION FOR SERIOUS CONSTRUCTION
HIGH-PERFORMANCE, SUSTAINABLE
CLADDING SOLUTION FOR SERIOUS
CONSTRUCTION
Basroc is a patented, high-performance, silica-free cladding system engineered for Australia’s toughest conditions. Codemark Certified, fire-rated, and future-ready, it delivers safety, speed, and long-term protection.
Longer Building Lifespan
Basroc is fire resistant, water repellent, and vapour permeable, protecting structures from heat, moisture, and trapped internal damp. It reduces risk on site and over time, helping prevent water damage, mould, and structural failure.
Fire, water, and trapped moisture are three of the biggest threats to a building’s lifespan. For homeowners, Basroc means fewer repairs, lower maintenance costs, and safer living conditions. For businesses, it means reduced liability, long-term asset protection, and confidence that the building meets code, now and in the years ahead.
THE SMARTER, SAFER, SIMPLER CHOICE
The Basroc System
Traditional Systems
- 100% crystalline silica-free – safe for your team
- Often contain crystalline silica (OH&S risk)
- No cutting bay or power tools needed – faster workflows
- Require cutting bays, power tools, dust control
- FRL up to 90/90/90 (AS 1530.4:2014) – Protects lives, protects your build
- Limited or variable fire ratings
- BAL-FZ compliant (AS 3959:2018) – Helping with government jobs
- May not be approved for BAL-FZ zones
- Vapour permeable and hydrophobic – Fewer callbacks, lower warranty risk
- Vapour barriers often added separately
- Knife-cuttable on-site, no dust extraction required – Real cost reduction
- Extra PPE, masks, or compliance plans needed
- NCC 2022 compliant (Volumes One & Two) – Credibility to win repeat work
- Risk of falling short of current NCC standards
- CodeMark certified (CM70139) – strengthen your reputation in this competitive market
- Not all systems are fully certified
- Suitable for Class 1–10 buildings
- Require adaptation for certain build classes or unable to be used on certain build classes
- Full system, designed to work together
- Components often sourced from different suppliers
In Stock. On Site. On Time.
Don’t wait weeks for production or deal with long lead times Basroc is available off-the-shelf through select distributors, meaning it’s ready when you are. For high-volume projects, supply can also be scaled quickly to meet demand.
Basroc panels are typically delivered to site within 3 days to 1 week, depending on location and volume. Texture finishes are made to order and require an additional 7 days. This fast turnaround helps keep projects on track, with minimal waiting between order and install.
Your Trusted Supplier, Now with Basroc.
Now available off-the-shelf through Bowens locations, Basroc is easier to specify, easier to source, and backed by a supplier you already trust.
It’s one more reason Basroc feels like the safer, smarter choice. Bowens: Leaders in Timber, Hardware & Building Products

THE FUTURE OF CLADDING
What it means for cladding
compliance risk
Basroc removes the compliance risk – Cut silica exposure & install complexity
Basroc contains no crystalline silica. Not in the panel, render, or texture. Panels can be cut with a utility knife without dust or water. That means no compliance headaches, no future restrictions, and a safer, faster install from day one. When the rules tighten, you’ll already be ahead.
Specifiers are already requesting silica-free systems and Basroc answers that call without compromise on quality & durability
Basroc silica safety + lightweight
ENGINEERED FOR SAFETY
THE SCIENCE BEHIND SAFER CLADDING
Basroc Fire Resistance
Tested to AS 1530.4:2014 Basroc achieves a Fire Resistance Level (FRL) of up to 90/90/90 when installed on timber framing and -/90/90 on steel. This means it maintains structural adequacy, integrity, and insulation for 90 minutes in a certified fire test.
Non-combustible materials
The core of the system is made from high-density mineral wool, which does not burn, melt, or emit toxic smoke.
Basroc Water Repellence
Hydrophobic Panel Surface. The Basroc Panel is water repellent, meaning it resists moisture ingress while maintaining its structural integrity and insulation properties.
Surface coating
The full Basroc system includes a trowel-on acrylic texture finish, which provides additional water resistance and protects against weathering.
Breathable System
The mineral wool core and render system are vapour permeable, allowing trapped moisture inside the wall cavity to escape, reducing the risk of mould, rot, or material degradation.
Wrap + Panel Combo
Basroc is installed over a vapour-permeable wall wrap, creating a breathable envelope that balances moisture management with thermal control.

Basroc Energy Efficiency
NO SILICA, NO CUTTING BAY, NO FUSS
BASROC IS DESIGNED FOR FASTER, SAFER INSTALLS
No crystalline silica
Basroc is completely silica-free, removing one of the most serious health hazards in the construction industry. There’s no risk of silica dust inhalation during cutting or handling, which means no need for respirators, extraction systems, or designated cutting bays.
No cutting bay required
Panels can be cut with a standard utility or serrated knife—no power tools needed. This dramatically reduces dust, noise, and OH&S risks on site.
No wet trades or water handling
Unlike some systems, Basroc doesn’t require water on-site for cutting or cleanup, or a specific saw & vacuum combination. This reduces slip risks and makes setup and pack-down faster.
Lightweight, One-Person Handling
Panels are light enough for one person to lift, carry, and install. This enables smaller crew sizes, lowers fatigue risk, and improves efficiency on tight-access or upper-level jobs.
Panel size: 2200mm x 600mm
The dimensions are manageable for a single installer without machinery or lifting assistance in most scenarios.
Basroc Panel is available in thicknesses of 50mm, 75mm & 100mm (special order) so there's bound to be a Basroc option to fit your project.
Direct fix or cavity options
Basroc is suitable for both direct fix and cavity wall applications, making it adaptable across project types.
Simple fixing system
Installed using standard screws and washers—no specialist tools or hidden fasteners. Screws are concealed under render, simplifying finish work.
Clear, step-by-step manuals
Installation is fully documented, including layouts for control joints, penetration detailing, and substrate requirements. This removes guesswork and reduces reliance on on-site trial and error.
Compatible with timber or steel frames
Works with standard framing systems (AS 1684.2 for timber, NASH for steel), with no modification required.
