The Critical Role of Safe Cladding: How FastClad A2 Meets Regulatory and Safety Challenges
Ensuring Safety with FastClad A2: Your Solution for Compliant Cladding
As the UK Government accelerates efforts to remove unsafe cladding through the Remediation Acceleration Plan, meeting safety standards has become a top priority for the construction industry. With the 2029 deadline approaching, building owners and developers must act decisively to ensure compliance and avoid serious penalties.
FastClad A2 by ACS is the ideal solution, offering:
A2 fire-rated safety for buildings over 18 metres
Lightweight and versatile design for easy retrofitting and modern construction
Sustainable and cost-effective benefits, reducing waste and labour costs
Timeless aesthetics that blend seamlessly with any architectural style
FastClad A2 not only meets stringent safety regulations but also supports innovative construction practices, making it the go-to choice for projects aiming to combine safety, efficiency, and design excellence.
FastClad: Building Assurance Without Compromise
In today’s construction landscape, compliance with stringent regulatory and insurance requirements is non-negotiable. Yet, many developers unknowingly select systems that fail to meet the standards of leading warranty providers such as NHBC, LABC, and Premier Guarantee. These choices can lead to costly remedial work and delays.
At Advanced Construction Systems (ACS), our FastClad Standard and FastClad A2 systems offer the assurance of BBA certification, a 60-year minimum service life, and robust compliance with Building Regulations. Designed for durability, precision, and ease of installation, FastClad provides developers and builders the confidence to build without compromise.

Government allocating £1 Billion to Removing Dangerous Cladding.
What Makes Cladding Dangerous? Understanding what makes cladding “dangerous” is critical as the UK Government allocates £1 billion to remove unsafe materials. Dangerous cladding typically refers to façade materials that pose high risks in terms of fire safety, durability, or performance. Following the 2017 Grenfell Tower tragedy, stricter regulations have been enforced, focusing on the combustibility and flammability of cladding. FastClad’s certified A2-rated systems offer a safe solution, meeting fire safety requirements for high-rise applications and ensuring compliance with modern building codes.
