Fire Safety In Buildings

We want to feel safe in the buildings in which we live and work

Building Insulation

Heat

There must be heat to start and continue the combustion process. The temperature would have to be at an ignition level.

Oxygen

There must be air to supply oxygen. Places with strong airflow will

cause the spread to occur more rapidly.

Fuel

There must be fuel to burn, such as furniture, carpets, curtains and

more. Choosing non-combustible insulation reduces the potential fuel content.

WHY SHOULD I USE FIRE INSULATION?

Below you can see a video that talks you through fire safety and reaction and resistance.


Video Credits - Kingspan

Reaction and Resistance

Reaction and resistance are both key to assessing fire safety in building products. This is because reactions can cause the fire whilst resistance can prevent them. Watch video to learn more.

WHAT IS FIRE INSULATION?

Fire insulation (or more usually fire-rated or fire-resistant insulation) is a term that covers insulation materials which have insulative properties but are also non-combustible or have limited combustibility. A typical example is stone wool insulation which can be non-combustible.

Non-combustible insulation

Non-combustible products are the best option when it comes to fire-rated insulation. A product can be described as non-combustible if it receives a Euroclass A1 Fire Rating.


What is a fire classification?

All insulation materials are given a Euroclass reaction to fire classification, which helps us to understand how much 'fuel' will be added to the building, as well as how a material will contribute to the development stages of a fire.

Fire Insulation Types


There are several different types of fire insulation to choose from, we have chosen the best options for you.

Fiberglass

Fiberglass is now the most common form of insulation used in both private and commercial buildings. Fiberglass is moisture resistant and non-combustible.

Batt or Blanket Loft Insulation

This is probably the most common type of insulation. It is available in rolls of foil-backed felt, rock, glass or mineral fibre.

PROS

  • Straight forward to install yourself
  • Some brands use recycled glass or sheep's wool
  • Good for insulating accessbile spaces such as exposed wall cavities

CONS

  • Some materials can irritate the skin, so you'll need to wear proper protection
  • Sheep's wool is a more expensive insulation option
  • Rolls of blanket can be too bulky to fit in small spaces or around obstructions

Mineral Wool

Mineral actually refers to several different types of insulation. Sometimes, its Glass Wool other times, it refers to Rock Wool and more commonly Slag Wool.

Learn More

Loose-fill Loft Insulation

This is made from a variety of granular or lightweight materials such as cork granules, mineral wool or cellulose fibre. Greener types of loose-fill insulation include recycled newspaper.

PROS

  • Fits easily between irregularly spaced joists or around obstructions
  • Useful for topping up existing insulation in attics

CONS

  • Can some loose in draughty lofts
  • Safety equipment and protective clothing are needed during installation

Loose-fill cellulose insulation

Cellulose insulation is quickly becoming a very popular choice for builders. The safety rating is rapidly improving which will elbow out other forms of insulation.

Learn More

Sheet Loft Insulation

Sheet insulation is designed for insulating the sloping sides of the roof and comes in the form of firm boards. Some sheet insulation boards are available with a fire-resistant, moisture-resistant or decorative covering. It can be ordered precut to specific sizes, usually at an additional cost.

PROS

  • Greener sheet loft insulation options include cork, straw and wood board
  • Excellent for insulating loft conversions
  • Can be covered with plasterboard for an attractive finish
  • High insulating value per unit thickness
  • Some boards come with their own systems of attachment

CONS

  • Synthetic sheet insulation materials use large amounts of energy during production
  • Can be more expensive than other types of loft insulation

HOW DOES FIRE INSULATION WORK?


Fireproof materials are able to reduce the flow of heat through the thickness of the material. Fireproof materials, also known a s fire-retardants, are able to withstand extremely high temperatures and are designed to help slow the spread of fire.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF FIRE INSULATION?

Fire Resistant

It's resistant to fire without burning, melting or producing toxic gases.

Fire Performance

The fire performance of the insulation gives it the ability to provide passive fire protection.

Sound

A lot of fire insulation doesn't just provide fire protection but also carries sound reduction properties.

Reduce Stress

It can reduce stress levels by knowing you are living or working in a safe enviornment.

Thermal

Fire insulation doesn't just proved fire protection but also has thermal properties


General well being

Fire insulation can help you in many factors of life. It can lead to a less stressful life which helps lead to a healthier life.
