Product Description
-
Fire-rated timber, also known as fire-retardant timber, is wood that has been treated or designed to withstand exposure to fire while maintaining its structural integrity and safety. It is often used in construction and building applications to reduce the spread of flames and slow down the progress of a fire. Fire-rated timber is treated with fire-retardant chemicals, and is available in various profiles and thicknesses, making it a valuable component for fire safety in the built environment.
Environmentally-friendly fire treatment
100% natural and non-toxic solution, causing no adverse effects to our environment. The water-based treatment is 100% biodegradable – with all components found in either fruits, vegetables or in nature in their elemental form.
Fully certified
BURNBLOCK® is fully tested and certified to the highest European fire ratings by the most recognised institutes on the Continent, including RI.SE (SP-Fire) in Sweden, MPA in Germany and BRE in Great Britain.
Timber stays structurally strong
There is no negative effect on the strength of timber. The treatment also doesn’t induce corrosion, meaning there is no requirement to use stainless steel screws or brackets, which can add considerable costs to your project.
No risk of staining or warping
Clear and invisible, the application Burnblock’s solution leaves no staining or grease on timber during the impregnation process – which takes place, on site, through the use of HALT’s own auto-clave.
The Euroclass System
The Euroclass System was introduced to harmonise standards across the EU. It categorises construction products – including timber – into one of seven reaction to fire classes ranging from A1 (non-combustible) down to F (the worst performing class in terms of combustibility), using a defined test or combination of tests. It also provides additional classification information with regards smoke production (from s1 – little or no smoke, to s3 – substantial smoke) and flaming droplets / particles (from d0 – none, to d2 – a lot).
