HVAC - Fire Protection of Ductwork

Description

U Protect Wired Mat 4.0 Alu1 is a lightweight and easy to install ULTIMATE™ mineral wool wired mat. It combines all the advantages of conventional thermal and acoustic insulation with excellent fire performance and is a component of the U Protect System.


The U Protect system has been tested in accordance to EN 1366-1 and EN 1366-8 and assessed against the criteria in BS 476: Part 24. It offers up to 2 hours passive fire protection in HVAC ventilation and smoke extract ducts as well as up to 1 hour passive fire protection for kitchen ducts.


The fire resistance is also dependent on the application, thicknesses of insulation and the method of installation.

Please contact technicalsupport@saint-gobain.com for further details.


Product Features:

  • ULTIMATE™ mineral wool roll incorporating a galvanised steel grid and a black aluminium foil facing
  • Supplied in 30-120mm thicknesses


Fire Classification:

Euroclass A1 Reaction to Fire classification according to EN 13501-1.


Product Benefits:

  • Fire Protection - The U Protect system has been tested in accordance to EN 1366-1 and EN 1366-8 and assessed against the criteria in BS 476: Part 24. It offers up to 2 hours passive fire protection in HVAC ventilation and smoke extract ducts as well as up to 1 hour passive fire protection for kitchen ducts.1
  • Easy to Install - The ULTIMATE™ wired mats offer a lightweight solution compared to traditional stone wool options, ensuring ease of handling and installation, as well as reducing the stress on supporting structures. Their flexibility and mechanical strength allows fast and efficient cutting and fitting. The adhesive used in the system is only required at penetration details rather than at every insulation joint.
  • Fire Classification - Achieves a Euroclass A1 Reaction to Fire classification, according to EN 13501-1.
  • Thermal Performance - Offers energy savings through helping to control temperatures and reduce heat loss or gain within ductwork.
  • Acoustic Benefits - The inherent sound deadening properties of the ULTIMATE™ mineral wool insulation will help to reduce noise from ductwork, improving the acoustic comfort of those living or working within the building.        

1 Fire resistance is dependent on the application, thicknesses used and method of installation.            


The system includes a range of accessories (intumescent paint, glue, screws and tape) to ensure the correct installation of the U Protect system. For further details, please visit insulation-uk.com/hvac-insulation/ductinsulation-fire-protection or contact technicalsupport@ saint-gobain.com.
