The Fire Barrier systems were designed to stop spreading flames and block smoke and heat through the walls of buildings to increase noise reduction. They are suitable for pitched roof voids, the head of wall, ceiling spaces, various substrates, as well as fire protection for structural steelwork.
Rockwool fire barrier systems offer labour-saving solutions to stop the spread of fire as well as stop spreading smoke in the ceiling and roof gaps. The stone wool option is ideal for voids that exceed 10.5 metres, and is secured by a wire mesh that is stitched.
Rockwool Barrier Barrier is from stone wool. It is an electro-galvanise wire mesh that is stitch on one side. Fire Barriers have be create to limit fires from spreading, block smoke and heat through the walls of buildings to enhance the reduction of sound.
Advantages
- Patented “quick fit” system for up to 1 hour of fire resistance
- It is suitable for void heights that are up to 10.5 meters
- Reduces the sound of airborne sources.
- Strengthening the wire mesh reinforcement
- Service penetration data available
Applications
- Pitched roof voids
- Head of wall
- Ceiling spaces that are concealed
- Multiple types of substrates
- Protection against fire in structural steelwork
Effective fire compartments and non-combustible facade systems aid in slowing the spread of fire and allowing the building’s inhabitants longer time to leave and fire crews more time to contain the fire.
This is crucial for medium- and high-rise structures. Assessing the relative fire resistance of various structures is a crucial aspect in ensuring that buildings are fire-proof.
To achieve this, many international fire safety standards have adopt a centuries-old temperature/time curve that has be prove method of testing harmonise components and building materials in the event of a disaster.
The soundshield plus plasterboard is an essential element in the construction of fire-resistant structures. Stone wool insulation is resistant to temperatures of up to 1000o C and is also non-combustible and can therefore help to ensure that a fire in an area doesn’t become an unintentional fire in a structure.
Passive Fire Protection
Fire protection products made of knauf soundshield plus can stop burning, and contain the fire locally, and prevent the spread of flames.
Stone wool that is robust is an essential component of fire-resistant structures, since its fibres are non-combustible, and are able to withstand temperatures of up to 1,000 degrees Celsius.
Learn the ways Rockwool products that are fire resistant can increase the security of buildings and occupants in your next construction project.
What Is The Reason We Require Active Protection Against Fire?
Climate change and urbanisation have new challenges to our modern lifestyle. The buildings are construct higher and closer to each other, and at times construction takes place at a fast rate.
Risks like fire danger could be elevate as a result. This can be cause by:
Failure to install the fire barrier that is design to prevent flames from expanding inside the house.
Utilisation of combustion material in the construction phase.
Buildings that are close to each other, which aid in spreading fires from one building to another.
For renovations it is recommend that the same considerations be give, in particular due to new Energy Performance Building Directives (EPBD) currently requiring construction companies to take into account the safety of fire when building renovations.
When you are building or renovating making sure that lives are not at risk in the incident of a fire is an important consideration.
Calculator And Savings
Installing fire-resistant products into new build or renovation projects can result in the long-term benefit of cost savings. In addition, it provides protection against the destruction of buildings by fire and can lower the cost of repairs in the future.
Why Should You Choose Rockwool Solutions?
The Main Benefits Of Rockwool Insulation Are:
Resistance To Fire
Non-combustible insulation from Rockwool can be able to withstand temperatures as high as 1000°C, guaranteeing that a building fire will be able to take on heat that is too high.
The Spread Of Flames Slows Down
Modern rooms of average size are fill with more combustible materials, so fires are five to ten times faster than they did 50 years ago. Stone wool isn’t flammable and prevents the spread of fires.
Prevents Fire Developing
Rockwool insulation helps to stop fire and stop the spread of fire, helping to keep lives safe and stopping any further damage to property.
More Secure Emissions Safer Emissions
When a fire breaks out the insulation we use doesn’t generate large amounts of toxic smoke, decreasing the possibility of smoke inhalation.
Robust
By limiting the flame to a specific portion of the building Rockwool’s thermal insulation ensures that the fire won’t extend to adjacent units, safeguarding nearby structures or flats from destruction.
The Problem
The safety of the fire department was an important aspect of this renovation. The contractor company Roseville was assign the task of overcoming the challenges in installing fire-stopping products within the complex structure of the building.
They decided to use Rockwool seal strips and fire sealant solutions with a total length of 1,300 metres to increase the fire-resilience of the linear joints as well as service tunnels such as the fire exit routes.
Emissions That Are Safe Emissions
When a fire breaks out the insulation we use doesn’t generate large quantities of toxic smoke , lessening the chance of inhaling smoke.
Fire protection solutions made of Rockwool:
- Do not create an excessive amount of toxic fumes
- Be sure to protect structures from the possibility of damage
- Allow occupants to have more time to get out
The products from Rockwool are beneficial to security and protection of property that are an important component of robust societies.
Installation
If you are you install Rockwool fire protection products in an improvement or construction project8:
Find the measurement space of your installation and prepare ahead by taking precise dimensions of the area you’re installing your products in.
Be aware of existing insulation – when you install insulation over existing insulation, especially during renovations, stay clear of crushing or compressing.
The Characteristics From Fireproof RockWool Sandwich Roof
This Knauf soundshield Panel consists of two steel sheets that have be galvanize. The steel is pre-lacquere the inner one, and then corrugate the outer one, that protects the core insulation of rock wool.
The process of manufacturing the sandwich sheets has be design to increase the resistance to fire for the rock wool. The minerals are distribute orthogonally with regard to the sandwich plates, allowing them to be later compact, which results in a single, solid flame retardant block.
To ensure that you get the appropriate protection for every project at the most affordable cost, the panel comes with various thicknesses of rock wool panel.
Fireproof sandwich covers with thicknesses of 50, 80 and 100 millimetres respectively offer the fire resistance of 30-60 and 120 minutes. They also guarantee its structural characteristics.
So, each structure is insulate to the specifics of its design by using the help of this Sandwich Panel and m2 price is much less than the other options that offers this degree of security.
The roof plates feature an overlap system to ensure an exact union between the plates, while also preventing condensation and humidity that could cause damage to the insulation layer of the Sandwich Panels.
This security is also provided by using self-drilling screws. In addition, we offer cappellotti as well as specially designed washers with neoprene gaskets to increase the waterproofing for the sheets sandwiched.
Summary
The exterior of the soundshield plus sheet made up of rock wool has a durable fret that provides immense force to the construction, securing against the effects of sustained force or loads which do not harm either the sheet of sandwich or the building upon the structure on which it is placed.
They are also fill with strip of rock wool that has be shape to maintain their remarkable performance in the fire, and ensure their outstanding performance throughout the life that the sheets are use for roofing.
