Technical Specification

Fire Resistance

Systems can be up-rated, if required, to meet BS 476 Parts 22 & 7 - the standard 'half our test' and spread-of-flame criteria. Classes 0 & 1 can be obtained through minor modifications to the core product.

Thermal Resistance

Typical values are: U=1.08 w/m2 K, assuming rock wall is inserted into the panel.

Sound

Monobloc construction and assembly methods together with the particle density of the chipboard makes the sound transmission properties of the panels good. When independently tested the system achieved 38db over the speech range a higher performance is achieved through the 70mm system. For particularly sound sensitive areas, a double wall is recommended.

Weight Loading

Tested against the criteria of BS 5268 (part 2) the panels withstood a design load of 2.45 KN/m run or 250 kilos per linear metre run.

Panels

The panel substrate consists of two , 625/m3 density, 15mm chipboard sheets, using flax slats to make up 50mm or 70mm thick panels. The standard panel width is 1.2m; standard heights are 2.44m, 2.74m, 3.05m, 3.66m. Multiple tier installations up to 9m high are often installed.

Finishes

Panels are decorated with a pure vinyl sheet of polyurethene-coated polymid fabric, 190 microns thick. The material is heat bounded, under pressure, to the chipboard substrate. Timber profiles are finished with an acid-catalyst lacquer; aluminium profiles are either satin-anodised to bS 1615 or powder-coated to RAL or BS standards.

Health and Safety

The company regards its operation of a proper Health and Safety Policy in its manufacturing resource as a priority. COSHH and CDM reports are kept updated and available to the Company's clients.
