Frequently asked questions about fire resistant boards

What are fire-resistant boards? Fire-resistant boards are materials used in construction and interior finishes that reduce the spread of fire. They increase the fire safety of a building and facilitate compliance with formal requirements for public buildings.
What are the types of fire-resistant boards and how do they differ? The most commonly used are P2 raw fire resistant board (class B-s2, d0) and P2 laminated fire resistant board (class B-s1, d0). The latter have a decorative coating and lower smoke levels, making them suitable for aesthetically pleasing interior applications.
What do the classifications B-s2, d0 and B-s1, d0 mean? These are designations for the reaction to fire class according to EN 13501-1. B - non-flammable material, s1 / s2 - degree of smoke emission (s1 - very little smoke), d0 - no burning droplets or particles.
Where can fireproof boards be used? Fire-resistant boards are used in buildings with higher fire protection requirements, such as offices, schools, hotels, hospitals, commercial and industrial buildings. They work well both as wall cladding and as a material for furniture.
Can fire-resistant boards be used in escape routes? The answer is yes. However, it is important to note that the material used must have the appropriate reaction to fire class, which is minimum B-s2, d0. It is important to note that flammable materials are not permitted on escape routes.
What formats and thicknesses of fire-resistant boards are available? Standard formats are 2800 × 2100 mm and 5605 × 2100 mm. The most common thickness is 18 mm, but other variants are available - on request.
Are fire resistant boards available in different decors? Yes, they are. Fire resistant laminate boards are available as part of the Mood Stories collection in a range of decors and surface textures - from matt to wood textured.
How are fire resistant panels installed? The boards are installed using standard fixing systems, following the manufacturer's recommendations for the fire resistance of the partition. Among other things, the correct expansion joint and choice of fasteners are important.

Benefits

For fire-resistant products, the most important thing is the best possible reaction to fire class, full product documentation (e.g. Fire reaction rating report). By choosing fire-resistant board, you are guaranteed to get the investor's approval to commission the building. A safe construction project is the safety of life and health of its users. Its interiors should be safe, which is ensured by properly selected materials. Also important is the aesthetic aspect, giving the interior the right character. Enhanced fire resistance is achieved with special flame retardant additives evenly distributed throughout the board.
Fire-resistant board is available in all decors from the Mood Stories collection. This ensures full complementarity with our other products, which will be used as equipment for public facilities.
The surface of fire-resistant boards can be cleaned with water and mild cleaning agents. Absolutely avoid the use of scouring agents, rags or abrasive sponges. Commercially available cleaners designed for plastic surfaces can be used to remove stubborn dirt from the surface of fireproof boards. Before using the cleaner for the first time, we recommend testing it on an invisible area of the product.
