POLFLAM Timber F30 | F90

NEW! The general construction technique permits for fire-resistant glazing in timber frames POLFLAM Timber F30 | F90 are now available!

The following two newly issued general construction technique permits (aBG) for POLFLAM fire-resistant glazing in timber frames are now available!

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

With the general construction technique permits, rooms can be discreetly or stylishly divided and escape routes secured without compromising the overall ambience.

The applications are not only limited to the interior. Due to the increasing density of buildings in urban areas, fire flashover must be considered more and more frequently.

Light-filled rooms and an open character of the building do not require compromises in terms of safety when fire-resistant glazing can open up large areas.

POLFLAM Timber F30 | F90 offer uncompromising glass sizes in combination with slim profiles.

Sustainability and durability are very important to us.

With the new general construction technique permits, elements made from renewable raw materials can be manufactured and installed by companies on site.

We will be pleased to advise and train you on site.

Please contact your local representative Mr. Markus Eckelt for further information.

Successful fire test of POLFLAM BR EI 30 curved glass

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.

POLFLAM sets new standard of butt-jointed glazing EI120

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.

Butt-joint-glass-fire-testing

Another test successfully completed!

During the latest test our well-known frameless system POLFLAM BR EI 120 with an impressive glass dimensions of 4.000 mm × 2.500 mm (landscape format) has been fire-tested at the test institute DMT in Lathen. The partition retained its fire resistance performance for more than two hours.

The use of frameless systems ensures maximum transparency and facilitates the creation of appealing interior designs, while maintaining resistance to fire up to EI 120. More often large fire-resistant glass panes are required in landscape format to create an unlimited transparent view in buildings without any framing and with as minimal glass to glass connections as possible.

POLFLAM BR fire-resistant glass is available in extra-large dimensions: 4.000 mm × 2.500 mm (landscape format), 2.400 mm × 4.000 mm and 2.000 mm × 4.800 mm (portrait format).

POLFLAM customers can now choose from a broader product selection

POLFLAM has successfully completed a series of fire tests on timber partitions for classifications EW 30, EW 60, EI 30, EI 60, EI 90 and EI 120. These are intended for use in rigid and lightweight supporting constructions. The fire tests were carried out in various notified fire test laboratories in Poland and Germany, and the final test of the series (a partition with POLFLAM® EI 120) took place on June 7.
