PERFORMANCE
The FiREAct screen offered will comply with the stability, integrity and insulation requirements of BS476 part 8, 1972 for 30, 60 or 90 minutes fire resistance.
DIEMENSIONS
Screens & doors are purpose made in any size generally within the limits of previously tested configurations.
For screens larger than previously tested screens, it could be necessary for the proposals in the enquiry to be subject to an assessment by an independent fire consultant, for an opinion on likely performance against previously tested products.
GLASS
Previously tested glass can be used in various combinations in accordance with a valid certifier certificate (Pyrostop, Contraflam, Pyrobel, Swissflam).
To employ Pilkington’s internal grade Pyrostop fire resistant insulating glass, it is assumed that the location of the glazed insulated screen is out of direct sunlight. If the screen is subject to direct sunlight the light sensitive Pyrostop will require an ultra –violet barrier.
