GLAZING SYSTEMS SEMINAR FROM TWINFIX
Stone wool insulation manufacturer ROCKWOOL has launched a new CPD module to help design out risk for steel frame constructions. ‘Passive Fire Protection for Structural Steel’ has been developed to enhance industry knowledge on up-to-date regulations and examines how specifiers can maximise fire protection periods with carefully chosen insulation materials. “There has been a great deal of focus on fire safety in high-rise buildings in the past few years. As structural steel is central to high- rise construction, not to mention a huge portion of low and medium rise developments, we believe it’s more important than ever for designers to carefully consider passive fire protection options for structural steel members,” said Coral Morgan, Product Manager – Fire Protection, ROCKWOOL UK. “Insulation might not always be a designer’s first thought when it comes to fire protection, which is why we’re aiming to help develop industry knowledge and encourage specifiers to think carefully about what different insulation solutions can offer.” The ‘Passive Fire Protection for Structural Steel’ CPD gives an overview of structural steel and steel frame construction, key considerations to keep in mind when specifying passive fire protection for steel members, and up to date regulations, standards and testing protocols. 01656 862 621
