protection for structures,
This offers added particularly in
high risk, multi occupancy builds over 11m in height, specifi cally those covered by the Building Safety Act. The product is ideal for modular and offsite construction as well as traditional builds in both the residential and commercial sectors.
Designed for use internally across steel, masonry,
and timber-framed structures, Protect FrameFoil FR is best installed as a
system where the membrane laps are sealed with new Protect FR Foil tape to deliver a fully fi re rated, airtight and vapour control solution. This membrane and tape system has been independently fi re tested both with the membrane free hanging and as a system
application fi xed over A1 and A2 substrates, achieving a Class A2-s1, d0 reaction to fi re rating. Using the combination of Glidevale Protect’s fi re rated wall membranes exceeds the requirements set down in Building Regulations Approved Document B in the UK and Building Regulations Technical Guidance Document B in Ireland. Featuring a woven, glass fi bre construction with an aluminium foil surface, FrameFoil FR enhances thermal effi ciency, achieving an aged thermal resistance (R-value) of 0.64 m2K/W when used facing into a still air cavity,
contributing to overall
energy performance. To fi nd out more and request independent
