Fire Resistance Timber has a slow charring rate of between 15 – 25mm per half hour (depending on species) therefore structural integrity remains stable for longer and is more predictable.

Fire Resistance Timber has a slow charring rate of between 15 – 25mm per half hour (depending on species) therefore structural integrity remains stable for longer and is more predictable. Masonry or steel  conduct heat more readily resulting in cracking/spalling or twisting which can quickly undermine the safety of the entire structure.  

Fire Retardant Both external cladding and internal walling can be further protected.

Fire Retardant Both external cladding and internal walling can be further protected from surface spread of flame. External cladding is treated off-site with a pressure impregnation system to achieve ½ hour or 1 hour retardation

Fire Retardant Both external cladding and internal walling can be further protected from surface spread of flame. External cladding is treated off-site with a pressure impregnation system to achieve ½ hour or 1 hour retardation Internal walls can be sprayed during the construction process typically Nullifire and be certified for Class O resistance
