Fuego® Light

Fixing:

Fixing of frames can be achieved in several ways. Typical fixings include woodscrews, plug and screw combinations, expanding anchors, machine screws/bolts and chemical fix. Consult manufacturer for exact details.

Material:

- Steel:

Profiles are supplied pre-galvanized (GV-GC yellow chromated) finish.

- Stainless Steel:

Profiles are available in mill finish Stainless steel to 304 standard. Profiles can have a polished finish to various requirements. Stainless steel has been fire assessed for EI30 or EI60 applications only.

Glazing:

- Fire integrity and insulation:

• Single or double glazed units can be accommodated for fire integrity & insulation requirements.

• Glazing thickness: 12–44 mm for single and double glazed units.

• Examples of fire integrity/insulation glass used in Forster fire tests are 15 mm Pilkington Pyrostop for EI30, 25 mm thick Vetrotech Swissflam for EI60 or 44 mm Glaverbel Pyrobel for EI90. EI120 has been tested with Pyrostop 120-10 56 mm within the triple boxed 110 mm Fuego profiles.

Double glazed units are available for external uses or for when a level of sound reduction is required.Other combinations are also available incorporating low `E` glasses and tints. Only glasses that have been fully tested for fire integrity and insulation may be used. Consult manufacturer for exact details

Panels:

- Fire integrity/insulation:

Panels can be constructed to achieve integrity and insulation up to EI120 with wall thickness of 2 mm steel and with a rockwool infill. Consult manufacturer for exact details.

Ironmongery:

- General:

Fuego doors are designed to utilize a full range of Forster hinges, which are available depending on choice or application. Hinges are either screw fixed to the door/frame or are welded to the door/frame.

Depending on test data, Forster Dog Bolts (947013) must be used to comply with fire test requirements for ironmongery.

A full range of locking devices are available depending on application required, and include a range of latch/deadlocks with and without two/three point locking along with a complementary range of lever handles. A rage of panic latching devices as well as an emergency escape range is also available, along with a range of flush bolt locking mechanisms, including emergency panic bar solutions.

For double acting requirements, Fuego doors can also be mounted on suitable floorsprings, centre located on profiles and used for 60 minutes integrity and 30 minutes insulation.

Various overhead and internal door closers can be fitted to the Fuego range of doors including automatic opening, smoke detection and selector controlled devices, available from companies such as Dorma or Geze. These items must have been tested to the relevant BS or EN standard.

- Fire:

When specifying and using fire integrity and insulated doors, certain ironmongery must be used to comply with the fire test data. Those items must always be Forster hinges, Forster locking mechanisms and (unless it is a double acting door) a tested door closer, usually from the Dorma/Geze ranges or those tested to either the relevant BS or EN standards. Consult with manufacturer for exact details.

Accessories:

Various types of accessories are available including, electric lockstrikes or magnetic locks which can be easily fitted for security applications or full door entry solutions with automatic detection and opening.

However, any additional hardware items not fire tested specifically must be checked with the local fire officer to ensure his/her acceptance.

Automatic drop seals can also be fitted to either enhance sound reduction or to prevent wind/draft ingress in external applications.
