Why Specify FlameX Certified Containment
on Your Project?
Proven Experience
Since 2003, Sitemax has led the industry in scaffold containment with innovations like Scafclad, Australia’s first locally-owned encapsulation sheeting. FlameX continues that legacy of leadership.
Certified, Not Claimed
Many products claim to be fire safe. FlameX is certified, documented, and ready for inspection. That difference matters when compliance officers are on site.
Tailored Solutions
We supply FlameX as standalone sheeting, branded wraps, or integrated with products like Spidermesh and Scaffmesh. That means safety never compromises presentation.
Full-Site Support
Sitemax is more than a supplier. We provide end-to-end site solutions: hoarding, signage, fencing, branding, and containment. FlameX is part of a bigger picture that keeps your site safe, compliant, and looking professional.

FlameX FAQs
What is AS1576.7?
AS 1576.7 is the Australian Standard covering the safe use of containment and encapsulation on scaffolding. It sets out what containment sheeting, mesh, shrink wrap and similar products must be tested for before they go on a scaffold — including how the material behaves near fire or heat, how much strength it holds under wind and tension, and how it's fixed to the structure. In plain terms: it's the rulebook that decides whether a containment product is fit to use on an Australian construction site.
What is FlameX Certified Containment?
FlameX Certified Containment is a range of fire-retardant scaffold containment products that carry the FlameX badge of compliance — a trusted sign your project meets and exceeds Australian industry standards. Independently tested to AS 1576.7, FlameX ensures total safety compliance across debris containment and sheeting products. More than materials, it’s a certification you can rely on to satisfy inspectors, protect your people, and safeguard your reputation. With custom branding options, FlameX also enhances site presentation while making your commitment to safety and compliance visible to every stakeholder.
Is FlameX fire compliant in Australia?
Yes. FlameX products are independently tested to AS 1576.7, Australia's standard for containment and encapsulation on scaffolding, along with AS 1530.2 for flammability. That means they've been assessed against the fire hazard, strength and fixing benchmarks the standard requires — not just marketed as fire retardant.
Why should I choose FlameX over standard containment?
Without adequate testing reports and documentation, standard containment can leave you exposed if an inspector asks for proof or a fire risk is identified on site. FlameX gives you documented AS 1576.7 test results on hand, reduces fire risk from sparks, heat or accidents, and avoids the cost and delay of replacing non-compliant material mid-project.
Who uses FlameX?
FlameX is used by developers, builders, contractors and infrastructure companies across Australia who need containment that's certified — not just claimed — to keep sites safe, compliant and professional.
Can FlameX containment be branded?
Yes. Many FlameX products can be digitally printed with your company logo or project branding, so fire compliance and site presentation aren't a trade-off.
