Initial
areas for the firas Australia scheme include:
Structural
Steel Protection
Few things are more fundamental to the fire safety of a steel framed
building than the fire protection of the structural skeleton since failure can
lead to the premature collapse.
The firas Australia scheme for structural steel protection covers board
systems, sprays and intumescent paint.
Fire
Resisting Glazing Scheme
Glass is a sophisticated and versatile product on which building designers rely
heavily for aesthetics, performance and protection. Specialist fire resisting
glasses allow innovative architectural concepts to become a reality if installed
correctly.
On completion, the
company will issue a certificate of conformity and apply a discrete label to the
glass with contact details.
Fire Doors
Scheme
Fire doors perform a vital function and an important aesthetic role in buildings
of all types. They are required to reinstate fire protection separation and
protect means of escape from fire and smoke. Their correct installation by
specialists is vital to their performance.
Using a firas
Australia certificated company ensures that installers will only use
appropriate fire doors within their tested and approved scope. On completion as
well as the certificate of conformity, the firas Australia installer will
apply a discrete label to the door with contact details.
Penetration
Sealing Systems
Penetration sealing systems are a fundamental requirement of fire safety in
buildings. Often a neglected part of the building’s fire protection and
installed by non-specialists they are nevertheless vital in maintaining
compartmentation and preventing the spread of fire and smoke and must be
properly installed.
Roller
Shutters
Roller shutters, whether industrial units or used to create compartments only in
the event of a fire are engineered products that rely heavily on their correct
installation to work effectively when required to do so.
Shutters certificated under the
CERTIFIRE
product certification scheme are individually labelled and supplied with
installation information. Having such products fitted by a firas Australia
certificated installer provides confidence to all parties in the shutter’s
ability to maintain its designed performance.
Fire
Resisting Partitions & Ceilings
Partition and ceiling systems not only divide large areas into smaller, useable
space but also are often critical elements in the fire safety strategy of a
building reducing compartment size and protecting means of escape. The correct
installation of partition systems, together with doors and glazing, which may be
included, is essential to maintaining the fire safety of a building.
Fire
Resisting Ducting System
Fire resisting ducting, together with dampers, are carefully designed to prevent
the spread of fire within a building. Correct installation and detailing is
therefore essential to realising the fire safety performance of the whole
building.
