A wide range of systems offered by Asos facilitate a variety of structural elements that are responsible for “fire protection zones” in buildings, and provide the right conditions for evacuation of its occupants. These solutions include both a window wall & door system option, extending to a typical “stick assembly” curtain wall system solution. The fire resistance performance of these solutions, depending on the project requirements, are available in a variety of classes, from as low as EI 15 (15 minutes) up to a an EI class of 120 (2 hours) for vertical assemblies, and achieve a class of REI30 / RE45 for roof glazing.
The following solutions, categorised by their common fire retardant properties, are responsible for the safety of a building’s occupants during a fire: MB-78EI internal & external partition walls & doors (classes EI 15 to EI 90), MB-78EI DPA automatic sliding doors (EI 30), MB-18E fire walls (EI 120), MB-SR50 EI and MB-SR50N EI curtain wall (classes EI 15 to EI 60), MB-SR50 EI EFEKT and MB-SR50N EI EFEKT curtain walls (classes EI60), glazed fire roofs (REI30 / RE45), MB-45D smoke-tight door & smoke exhaust windows & valves.
An important feature of the Asos fire rated solutions is their ability to interface with each other, one system to the next, whilst maintaining the necessary fire resistance. This is demonstrated with the integration of the MB-78EI door into the MB-SR50 EI and MB-SR50N EI curtain wall, enabling the whole structure to achieve a common EI 30 or EI 60 class performance. The same MB-78EI door possibility exists, with implementation into the MB-118EI wall system.
Integrity (E) is the ability of a component or construction to maintain the integrity of the element on one side only, without spreading the re to a non-heated side as a result of penetration of ames or hot gases.
Reduction of radiation (W) is the ability of a component or construction to maintain the integrity of the element on one
side only, to reduce the likelihood of re spreading that may result from signi cant thermal radiation or through an element, or from its non-heated surface to adjacent materials.
Insulation (I) is the ability of a component or construction to maintain the integrity of the element on one side only, without spreading the re as a result of a signi cant heat ow from a heated side to a non-heated side. During the re, the construction on the non-heated side reaches a temperature of not more than +140°C up to +180°C.
All the above-mentioned parameters are given in minutes. The number after a given symbol gives the laboratory time from starting of a fire, in which a parameter is maintained.
Aluprof S.A. strives to continuously improve the quality of its products. The company’s quality management system meets the requirements of standards EN ISo 9001 / EN ISo 14001, which has been con rmed by the inspection body TÜV NoRD. The products o ered by Aluprof meet all the requirements of the European standards as to the quality of alloys, tolerance and resistance characteristics. The company cooperates with many European research centres and building research laboratories, also specializing in the re-resisting constructions: Building Research Institute (Poland), IFT Rosenheim (Germany), Warrington Certi cate Exova (Great Britain), uBAtc (Belgium), Fires Institute (Slovakia), ÉMI Institute (Hungary) Incerc Institute (Romania), Efectis Institute (Netherlands), and others. The cooperation involves re testing and reviews of the company’s documents (reports and classi cations). These documents enable ALuPRoF systems-based products to be applied in re-resisting constructions throughout Europe and beyond.
