FlameZone cladding?

Page 1 of 1
Hi,
We are going to replace one of the external walls in our existing house - built in a Flamezone - with a new wall. The existing wall has a massive floor to ceiling window in it and we want to replace it with a wall with a much smaller window. We will build a new studded wall with the new window built in. To cover the rest of the wall, we need to find external cladding that we can use on the outside that suits a Flame zone area. Does anyone have any suggestions to what we could use here? Thank you.

Thanks! I did find this brochure online too but it's not 100% clear to me. I've emailed JH for clarification on what can and can't be used in their fireproof wall systems.
