CASE STUDY
Class 1 Magply boards withstand real life fire test on Surrey home
A potentially catastrophic blaze , which consumed the garage containing a parked vehicle adjoining a £ 1M house in rural Surrey , was stopped in its tracks thanks to the use of 12mm A1 non combustible Magply being chosen as the render substrate board on the contract , the property was constructed using a Structurally Insulated Panel system construction ( SIP ) with A1 non-combustible Magply being used on the exterior of the building as the substrate panel for the proprietary render system .
Magply is a multi-use A1 non-combustible board with an impressive library of testing for fire applications , in the offsite and timber frame sector the board is designed and specified to contain fire and support the emergency service with added crucial time !
Application р Fire test
Contractor р Fullers Plastering
Location р Surrey
Although the emergency services were quick to attend the fire , which happened in August , it had taken sufficient hold that the large timber framed garage was totally destroyed with just some sections of the frame still standing . However , the gable end to the house which features a relatively thin , weatherproof finish of the silica-based K-Rend suffered only surface damage . Remarkably , although areas of the render had spalled off , the 12mm Magply boards underneath had not even charred while they had fully protected the SIPs structure beneath : a fact borne out by the system supplier , Glosford SIPs , which took core samples to confirm the continued integrity of the insulated sandwich panels which are faced by OSB .
