Fire protection

The consequences of a fire breaking out and spreading is a serious concern for all occupants of buildings.

Our systems and components are fire-tested and certified to provide up to 180 minutes of fire performance. They help to stop fire from spreading and, due to their unique properties, also help to slow the rise in temperature and retain the integrity of the structure. This provides added valuable time for evacuation and firefighting.
