FIRE SAFETY & SECURITY
WE DON ’ T CALCULATE : WE TEST
AT PURE VISTA , WE PRIORITISE MAKING THE BEST AND SAFEST PRODUCT FOR OUR CUSTOMERS , EVEN IF THAT MEANS HIGHER INVESTMENT IN RESEARCH , DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING
Where some competitors in the market use calculations to decide whether the internal components meet fire regulations , we don ’ t . We have tested the whole system .
Our testing had gone above and beyond the necessary requirements to improve safety for homeowners . Before our products undergo official testing , we subject them to rigorous in-house testing to ensure that every element of the system exceeds official testing and strict government regulations .
In response to the tragic Grenfell Tower fire , regulations have changed . Residential buildings now over 11 metres must comply with fire safety regulations . All materials used on the external wall system , including balustrades , must be non-combustible and classified as A1 or , D0 EN13501-01 under the European classification system .
Emphasising the need to prioritise products with the highest fire safety standards is crucial as further reforms are underway for the construction industry .
Partnering with Pyroguard , we tested the channel alongside all the internal components with Pyroguard 23mm glass for a complete system test . POSIglaze and POSIone have successfully passed the fire testing installations on projects over 11 metre high and achieved A2 , S1 , D0 , EN13501-1 status , reaching the line load of 0.74Kn .
