CW-FB Fireboard is specially engineered to facilitate advanced performance of CW-FS Firestop at the slab edge for the required fire resistance period.
Siderise CW-FB curtain wall fireboard forms part of a perimeter barrier firestop and spandrel zone protection system for use with non-fire rated aluminium curtain wall facades.
The fire resistance performance of CW-FS Firestop, functioning as a perimeter barrier, in combination with CW-FB Fireboard, has been tested in conjunction with commercially available ‘Type A’ non-fire rated curtain wall constructions. This configuration allows in-test deflection of both the façade and the floor slab, incurred as a result of being subjected to over 1000°C during the test, to be considered - giving a more accurate indication of in-application performance.
EN 1364-4 testing is the primary route for compliance for testing firestops in horizontal orientation in combination with curtain wall facades. When testing to EN 1364-4 in combination with 'Type A' non-fire rated curtain walls it is necessary to protect the spandrel zone with Siderise CW-FB. ‘Type A’ is the most common type of curtain wall in the UK. Please see our public website for EN 1364-4 tested arrangements and standard details. The CW-FB does not have a product specific fire resistance performance however it facilitates the fire resistance performance of the CW-FS Firestop in the EN 1364-4 test arrangement.
There are specific configurations of the test that can be chosen depending on the primary element to be assessed. To understand these further, please refer to BS EN 1364-4:2014. In a very simplified explanation, Configuration 2 is used to assess performance of the façade, and incorporates flaming on the inside and outside of the façade with specific furnace pressures and temperatures; this configuration would be used by system manufacturers for specific data on the façade. Configuration 5 is used to assess the linear joint seal/firestop in application and focusses on the ability of containing the fire inside the compartment, utilising higher temperatures and pressures. All Siderise EN 1364-4 testing is carried out in accordance with configuration 5.
Whilst existing test data is unlikely to replicate specific project details, Siderise have tested to EN 1364-4 with a number of different curtain wall systems with CW-FB in both single and double-layer arrangements.
In combination, CW-FS and CW-FB can be used in curtain wall façade assemblies requiring enhanced fire resistance performance.
The product combination provides the following advantages in the test arrangement:
Siderise CW-FB curtain wall fireboard is a high-density stone wool board specifically engineered to provide a simple and easy to install method of facilitating the fire resistance performance of the CW-FS Firestop in conjunction with non-fire rated curtain wall facades.
Based on the experience gained through being the premier supplier to the UK and UAE curtain walling markets, the products represent an unrivalled combination of fully qualified performance, and practical installation and service benefits.
The standard sheet size is 2000mm x 1180mm. It may be provided in pre-cut sizes when the dimensions of the spandrel area are known.
