FIRE SAFETY & SECURITY
FIREFLY ® SHOWCASES EXPANDED RANGE AT FIRE SAFETY EVENT
RAISING THE BAR IN FIRE PROTECTION
As a major manufacturer of barrier systems and other passive fire protection products, FIREFLY ® is expecting to make a big impression at the Fire Safety Event 2026( NEC Birmingham 28-30th April), with a quartet of important new products on its stand number 4H 103.
Along with well established ranges such as Apollo, Zeus and Titan Lite, the internationally recognised specialist will also be showcasing innovations such as the versatile FIREFLY ® Span which has been developed to prevent the spread of fire, smoke and even sound through construction joints in walls and floors for a full 60 minutes. The product has been tested in accordance with BS EN 1366-4, confirming the viability of its open celled polyurethane foam structure – impregnated with fire resistant chemicals and bonded with layers of intumescent graphite.
Then to protect the computer floors which feature in industrial as well as commercial and other buildings, last year saw the launch of the FIREFLY ® FB180 Raised Access Floor System, which makes extensive use of the company’ s ablative batts to provide up to
240 minutes protection against the spread of flames within the vulnerable voids.
Addressing another secondary structure and able to enhance compartmentation performance, as well as and control smoke across suspended ceiling installations, the manufacturer has neatly repurposed its Apollo Lite 30:30 barrier. This innovative adaptation is fully tested to BS 476 Part 22, while the flexible membrane remains easy to install and will deliver 30 minutes integrity and insulation.
The last of the four new products to be found on the FIREFLY ® stand presents a one-sided version of the mineral wool batt which can be cut to shape and deployed where access is difficult. It is ideal for use in property types from hospitals and care homes, to plant rooms and heritage settings.
Whatever the situation or the period of protection sought, the FIREFLY ® personnel at the NEC will be able to propose a practical, compliant and cost effective solution.
