FIREFLY ® PHOENIX CONTINUES TO PROTECT HOME BARGAINS CHAIN
Home Bargains continues to expand its UK store network, with products from the FIREFLY ® range specified for its new outlet at Camborne Retail Park in Cornwall to support fire safety for staff and customers.
The 9,150 sq ft store is being refurbished by Oakhurst( Southport) Ltd, with WPL Consulting as project architect. Phoenix Vertical, Collaroll and ancillary FIREFLY ® products have been installed to create a 60-minute rated fire and smoke barrier beneath the pitched metal roof. Installation was completed by S R Shopfitting in just a few days, ahead of the store’ s scheduled opening on August 22nd.
The lightweight Phoenix barrier was fixed to the roof structure using steel angles, with overlaps sealed using FIREFLY ® High Temperature Adhesive. Collaroll was applied to high-level steel beams, while FIREFLY ® ablative batts were used to close voids beneath soffit level.
Oakhurst Site Manager Kerry Humphreys praised the system for being easier and cleaner to install than traditional mineral wool solutions, adding that FIREFLY ® provides reliable support for varying fire regulations across the UK.
Manufactured from woven and non-woven glass, the FIREFLY ® range is designed to deliver effective fire, smoke and heat protection and can be installed horizontally or vertically as part of a fully tested and certified system. www. ssqgroup. com www. tbafirefly. com
