MASTIC ASPHALT SUCCESSFULLY TESTED TO NEW EUROPEAN FIRE STANDARD
With the fire rating of waterproofing systems under increasing scrutiny since the Grenfell fire disaster , it is becoming increasingly important for specifiers and building owners to consider the fire classification of waterproofing systems .
The Mastic Asphalt Council ( MAC ) has recently tested its Recreation Duty ( RD ) Grade Mastic Asphalt system incorporating glass fibre tissue underlay to the European fire classification standard EN 13501-1 . It successfully achieves a fire classification rating of Bfl-s1 , confirming the product is flame-retardant with very limited smoke development .
MAC Director Malcolm Grinstead said : “ At present it would seem few waterproofing systems have achieved the Bfl-s1 fire classification rating to the European Standard , and this confirms Mastic Asphalt is a great choice for specifiers who need to demonstrate excellent fire ratings for waterproofing products .”
For specifiers seeking an efficient , cost-effective and simple to install way to weatherproof the exposed parts of buildings , mastic asphalt is a proven , long-lasting surfacing material . Seamless , durable and with exceptional waterproofing characteristics , mastic asphalt can be installed with minimal disruption and downtime .
Recreation Duty Mastic Asphalt is ideal for use on roofs , access walkways , balconies , terraces , podiums , plant rooms and stairways . It is UK manufactured , carbon neutral and recyclable .
