The award-winning FZ100 Fire Safe Zone is designed to elevate fire protection in Offsite Construction to unprecedented levels. Its ability to futureproof “zones” for future needs makes it the ideal product for Modular Hire scenarios.
The Department for Education is spearheading initiatives to elevate modular construction to Passivhaus levels, while simultaneously emphasising fire-rated solutions. Windows and doors, once mere openings in a structure, are now integral components in the pursuit of airtightness and fire safety.
At Tremco CPG UK we are committed to support the growth in timber construction, as highlighted in the recently launched Timber in Construction (TiC) Policy Roadmap.
Passive fire protection plays a crucial role in the safe construction and maintenance of all building types. However, when it comes to offsite construction, it is a well-known fact there are numerous fire safety challenges to be considered at the outset in order to achieve a safe, compliant installation that will protect the module and its inhabitants throughout the lifetime of the structure.
Whilst design guidance that support current Building Regulations are very much applicable to offsite construction, according to a recent technical bulletin from the Defence Infrastructure Organisation, aspects of fire safety such as compartmentation and structural fire protection present compliance challenges that are not addressed by current design guidance solutions.
When it comes to making modules both weather and airtight, there are a number of key considerations that you must factor into your project in order to achieve optimum building performance levels.
