Fire-teK Beam and Column Slab is used to provide fire protection to structural steel columns, beams and trusses. Fire-teK Beam and Column Slab with a foil facing are suitable for use above clean rooms, within air plenums, or for aesthetic purposes. Plaster manufacturers advice and guidance should be followed regarding pre-treatment of Fire-teK Beam and Column Slabs before application of plaster finishes. Fire-teK Beam and Column Slab can be used with four types of fixing systems for the fire protection of structural steelwork. Fixing systems:

  • Dry Fix System
  • Adhesive noggin Fixing System


Description

Fire-teK Beam and Column Slab is a Rock Mineral Wool Slab used in the fire protection of structural steel and cast iron beams and columns.


They are non-combustible with the best possible Euroclass A1 reaction to fire classification, and are available either unfaced, or with a foil facing.


Features and benefits:

  • Non-combustible with a melting point in excess of 1000°C
  • Fire-teK Beam and Column Slabs are manufactured to factory tolerances, enabling the specifier to be certain that the correct thickness of fire protection has been applied.
  • Quick and easy to check that all relevant areas have been protected 
  • Rock Mineral Wool fire protection slabs are easy to handle and fit on site particularly for overhead work.


Certification:

  • Eurofins Gold.
  • CE Marking.
  • UKCA.
  • EN 15804.
  • EUCEB.
  • Made in Britain.
  • RAL.


Durability:

Fire-teK Beam and Column Slab is odourless, rot proof, non-hygroscopic, does not sustain vermin and will not encourage the growth of fungi, mould or bacteria.


Standards and certification:

Fire-teK Beam and Column Slab is manufactured in accordance with BS EN 13162, ISO 50001 Energy Management Systems, ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems, and ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems, as certified by TÜV Nord.


Real performance:

Glass and Rock Mineral Wool are easier to install correctly than other insulants such as rigid boards because they adapt to any slight imperfections in the substrate and knit together, eliminating any air gaps. Evidence shows the absence of air gaps is crucial to achieving real performance in the relevant application.


Environmental:

Fire-teK Beam and Column Slab contains no ozone-depleting substances or greenhouse gases. For further environmental information consult the relevant Environmental Product Declaration, available on our website.


Moisture resistance:

Fire-teK Beam and Column Slab is non-wicking when tested to BS 2972:1989: Section 12. When exposed to 90% humidity and 20°C, Fire-teK Beam and Column Slab absorbs less than 0.004% of moisture.


Handling and storage:

Fire-teK Beam and Column Slab is easy to handle and install, and is easily cut to size, where necessary. Fire-teK Beam and Column Slab is supplied loose on hooded pallets which are designed for short term protection only. For longer term protection on site, the product should either be stored indoors, or under cover and off the ground. Fire-teK Beam and Column Slab should not be left permanently exposed to the elements.
