Active fire safety devices
Active fire safety devices make it easier to locate a fire outbreak and take firefighting action. These include, for example, systems that automatically activate when a fire is detected, such as detectors or alarms that respond to a rise in temperature or the appearance of smoke and flames. This category includes sprinklers and water curtains, whose trouble-free operation also depends on the quality of fixings, special loops and clamps. In the offer of reputable manufacturers of clamps for sprinkler systems, in addition to the standard ones, we can find clamps with international FM and VdS certificates, which guarantee the highest level of safety in the field of fire protection. Possession of FM and VdS certificates meets the stringent criteria of foreign investors and insurance institutions, which ensures obtaining much better insurance terms for the facility.
Passive fire protections
Equally important are passive fire protections that can slow the spread of fire, giving time to evacuate people and property. It is worth thinking about them already at the design stage, as this allows to achieve the required level of fire resistance of the building, depending on its purpose. In this context, it should be recalled how important a role in the fire safety system falls to fire zones. Separated from each other by fireproof walls, floors and ceilings, they are a barrier to the flames that will stop the fire for the time necessary to organize a firefighting operation. For this to be possible, their boundaries - and these are the walls and ceilings of the building - must meet load-bearing, airtightness and insulation (REI) requirements. This requires the use of dedicated products and materials with the appropriate fire resistance class, which have the necessary certificates and National or European Technical Assessment.
Nipro
Synonymous with quality in the group of passive fire protection products is the Nipro line for various types of installation penetrations. Here you will find means to restore the original fire resistance class of a partition, which is the boundary of fire zones, for example, after making a culvert for installations. The range of these products includes pastes, paints, ties and collars, using the properties of swelling and thermal insulation. Their operating principles and effectiveness are based on proven technology developed by THALE over the years.
