Types and Applications :: Fire Barriers
Kershaw is approved by Rockwool Limited to supply and install Rockwool
FirePro fire barriers.
Fire safety requirements are based on life safety, means of escape, inhibiting the spread of fire both internally and from one building to another, ensuring the stability of buildings and adequate access for fire-fighters to save lives in and around buildings.
Buildings should be constructed in such a manner that if a fire starts, the extent of fire and smoke damage will be minimised and kept as close to the source of fire outbreak as is practical.
As part of the comprehensive FirePro range of products, Rockwool Fire Barrier systems offer labour-saving solutions to prevent fire and smoke spread within roof and ceiling voids for all general conditions encountered on site. The vertically hung Fire Barriers are capable of achieving both integrity and insulation protection periods from 15 to 120 minutes and the friction fitted Fire Barrier Slab can also provide 60 minutes integrity and insulation. It is Rockwool’s essential insulation performance that limits the heat transfer through the barriers, preventing ignition of combustible materials in adjacent areas.
The installation of Rockwool FirePro fire barriers creates compartments which retard the spread of fire within the roof and ceiling voids.
The vertically hung fire barriers are capable of achieving both building integrity and protection periods from 15 to 120 minutes. Rockwool insulation performance limits the transfer of heat through the barrier, preventing ignition of combustible materials in adjacent areas.
The Kershaw team is trained in the selection and application of passive fire protection systems and will be happy to supply any further technical data and advice.
