The Ultimate FSC system features a patented composite Grey EPS insulation board demonstrating exceptional fire performance vs. conventional EPS systems.
Ultimate FSC systemfire performance is achieved through three unique features that dramatically reduce fire spread through the EWI system:
1. A1 Fire Rated Compartmentalization
A1 fire barriers that generate fire safe partitions within the insulation panel. These barriers prevent direct fire exposure inside the system and restrict the melted polystyrene from running down to the fire source and fuelling the fire.
2. Innovative window & door head fire barriers
The FSC EWI system requires that a specially modified mineral wool fire barrier is installed above all window and door heads.This pioneering fire barrier has been developed to prevent the absorption of melted polystyrene during the fire.
3. Mechanically & Adhesively fixed
Composite panels are both mechanically and adhesively fixed. The insulation is adhered to the substrate with A1 rated Soltherm adhesive. This adhesive prevents the movement of fire and toxic gases behind the system.
In summary, the Ultimate FSC system is a tested and proven solution:
• Fullscale fire tested in accordance with BS EN 8414-1
• Fire safety that is comparable to Mineral Wool systems
• Cost effective in comparison to Mineral Wool systems
• Ofgem approved or ECO3 innovation uplift
• Increased fire evacuation times compared to conventional EPS systems
• Maintains essential advantages associated with conventional EPS systems:
- impact resistance
- low water absorption
- render adhesion strength
- thermal properties
- easy installation
