Pyroplex ® Passive Fire Protection Products
FIRE-SAFE BUILDING - INCORPORATING
CERTIFIED PASSIVE FIRE PROTECTION
Architects are pushing the boundaries to great effect, as building
design becomes more ambitious and creative. Fire safety however,
must remain at the core of every construction project and using
certified and tested products is the diligent choice. Why? Andy
Walsh, Technical Manager at leading passive fire protection
manufacturer, Pyroplex explains.
All parties involved in the creation of a new building have a joint
responsibility to make it fire-safe. Fire protection is not the task of
one person or department. The wider the understanding, the safer
the building will be.
Specifiers face a challenge when it comes to the optimum choice
of products. The market is full of bold claims; it’s easy to be
misled. The only way to be certain that a fire protection product
will deliver the desired and stated performance is to specify third-
party certified products that are accompanied by independent test
results.
Architects, specifiers, regulators and customers will gain confidence
from the use of certified products. Due diligence creates a safer
building. For example, should you specify a certified Pyroplex
intumescent fire door seal with performance claims of FD120,
we can provide testing data to demonstrate fire containment for
120 minutes. The same can be said for Pyroplex Fire Stopping CE
Marked Pipe Wraps & Collars and construction sealants.
Third-party certification exists to independently approve products
that deliver against the stated performance. Within fire protection,
it exists to drive standards upwards, enabling manufacturers,
suppliers, architects and contractors to design and build with the
best possible fire safety standards at the heart of the project.
