Vor gut einem Jahr wurden die beiden neuen Bauartgenehmigungen (aBG)
Z-19.14-2650 – POLFLAM Timber F30
Z-19.14-2658 – POLFLAM Timber F90
für POLFLAM Brandschutzverglasungen in Holzrahmen vorgestellt.

Die beiden Brandschutzverglasungssysteme – jetzt auch in Nadelholz ≥ 430 kg/m² ausführbar – bieten nicht nur kompromisslose Glasgrößen in Kombination mit schlanken Profilen, sondern auch jetzt mit nachweislich beeindruckenden Schalldämmprüfergebnissen des Gesamtbauteils bis zu Rw 55 (-3;-7) dB.
Der Schallschutz ist ein wichtiger Aspekt bei der heutigen Gebäudeplanung, um eine gesunde Arbeitsumgebung zu gewährleisten. Die neuen Schalldämmergebnisse ermöglichen damit einen erweiterten Anwendungsbereich der Brandschutzverglasungen gerade bei hohen Schalldämm-Anforderungen.
Die Schalldämmprüfungen wurden bei der PfB GmbH & Co. [Link to PfB] – Prüfzentrum für Bauelemente KG – durchgeführt und die Übersicht der gemessenen Schalldämm-Maße der Gesamtbauteile mit verschiedenen Glastypen ist beeindruckend!

Nachhaltigkeit und Beständigkeit haben für uns einen sehr hohen Stellenwert. Mit den allgemeinen Bauartgenehmigungen können Elemente aus nachwachsenden Rohstoffen von Unternehmen vor Ort hergestellt und montiert werden.

Wir beraten und schulen Sie gerne vor Ort.

NEU! Die allgemeinen Bauartgenehmigungen für Brandschutzverglasungen in Holzrahmen POLFLAM Timber F30 | F90 liegen jetzt vor!

Die nachfolgenden beiden neu ausgestellten Bauartgenehmigungen (aBG) für POLFLAM Brandschutzverglasungen in Holzrahmen

Z-19.14-2650 – POLFLAM Timber F30
Z-19.14-2658 – POLFLAM Timber F90

liegen jetzt vor!

Mit den neuen allgemeinen Bauartgenehmigungen können Räume dezent oder stilvoll geteilt und Fluchtwege gesichert werden, ohne das gesamte Ambiente zu beeinträchtigen.

Die Anwendungen sind nicht nur auf den Innenbereich beschränkt. Durch die zunehmende Verdichtung von Gebäuden in städtischen Bereichen gilt es immer häufiger den Brandüberschlag zu beachten.

Lichtdurchflutete Räume und ein offener Charakter des Gebäudes erfordern keine Kompromisse hinsichtlich Sicherheit, wenn Brandschutzverglasungen große Bereiche öffnen können.

POLFLAM Timber F30 | F90 bieten kompromisslose Glasgrößen in Kombination mit schlanken Profilen.

Nachhaltigkeit und Beständigkeit haben für uns einen sehr hohen Stellenwert.

Mit den neuen allgemeinen Bauartgenehmigungen können Elemente aus nachwachsenden Rohstoffen von Unternehmen vor Ort hergestellt und montiert werden.

Again and again, the question arises whether curved butt-jointed glass and fire protection are feasible at all? Once again, POLFLAM has demonstrated the performance of curved monolithic POLFLAM BR EI 30 with two opposing curved butt-jointed fire-resistant glasses (convex and concave) in an impressive fire test.

The fire test was successfully performed at DMT in Lathen in a non-load-bearing frameless partition wall system with maximum glass dimensions of 1500 mm x 3000 mm.

This allows the realisation of curved endless partition walls of fire resistance class EI 30 with a variety of different circumferential glass edge coverings.

Curved glass thus offers architects and planners additional freedom in the design of building interiors. In this way unique room structures can be realized without compromising fire safety requirements.

Contact your local Sales Manager to learn more about curved fire-resistant glass made by POLFLAM.

We are proud to announce that POLFLAM fire-resistant glass has been approved for the Warringtonfire Certifire certification especially for the UK market and abroad.

Certifire is a world leading certification for passive fire protection products including   independent third-party certification that assures fire protection products‘ performance, quality, reliability and traceability.

Internationally regarded as one of the most authoritative fire safety marks, the Certifire  certification is recognised by regulatory authorities worldwide.

POLFLAM sets new standard for 2-hours fire protection with butt-jointed glazing in an aluminium fire-resistant system.

POLFLAM successfully achieved 2-hours fire resistance (EI120) with POLFLAM BR EI120 (butt-jointed) fire-resistant glass installed in a commercially available aluminium system (Aliplast FR90).

The combination of butt-joint glazing, 2 hours fire protection in an aluminium fire-resistant system with a basic depth of 90 mm is unique for the market, giving designers and architect the possibility to combine endless transparency with 2-hours fire protection in a widely available aluminium fire-resistant system.

With this test result maximum individual glass pane dimensions of 1800 mm x 3000 mm and 1500 mm x 3600 mm (width x height) are possible (EI120) with glass-to-glass (butt-joint) connections creating endless transparent fire-resistant glass partitions.

For more information, please contact your local POLFLAM sales representative.
