We are dedicated to providing high-performance, innovative insulated Fireproof Panel solutions that not only deliver superior construction efficiencies and lifetime performance, but that are underpinned by extensive 3rd party insurer-approved system fire testing and proven fire performance.

What Underpins the Fire Performance of Insulated Panels?

Large-scale system testing, where a complete wall or roof system build-up is tested, is the most robust way to assess the fire performance of any construction. LPCB and FM Approved insulated panels are subjected to and meet the requirements of rigorous insurance industry large-scale system fire tests.

QuadCore Insulated Panels have a fire resistance rating ranging from:

• Wall application: 15 to 90 minutes integrity & insulation *

• Roof application: 15 to 60 minutes integrity & insulation *

• Fire resistant building envelope to EXT A 30*

• Alternative traditional systems with glass wool insulation in the market obtain maximum EXT-A 15, or 15 minutes fire resistance

Demonstrated not to propagate fire spread in real fires

Whilst all these case studies relate to insulated panels with a PIR core, large scale system tests embedded within LPCB and FM approvals indicate that QuadCore insulated panels will perform in a similar or better manner.

Key findings from these real fire investigations include:

• No evidence to indicate that the PIR insulated panels increased the risk of fire spread;

• PIR cores within the insulated panels charred in the immediate vicinity of the fire;

• Fires were not propagated within the PIR core of the insulated panel;

• PIR insulated panels did not char significantly outside of the area of the main fire;

• Building contents were the dominant influence on fire severity, and

• The fire severity was not significantly influenced by the PIR insulated panel.
