Protect FrameFoil FR

Description

Protect FrameFoil FR is a high performance, Class A2 flame retardant, reflective air and vapour control layer (AVCL), offering low emissivity to enhance the thermal performance of walls, ceilings and floors. Suitable for internal use in steel, masonry and timber construction, FrameFoil FR is independently fire tested in both free hanging and system application achieving an A2-s1,d0 reaction to fire classification to exceed current fire regulations.

Offering Class A2 fire rated performance and excellent thermal resistance, this AVCL is complemented by the use of Protect FR Foil tape, which is available separately and manufactured using the same A2 material, giving reassurance on a fire rated system specification. By ensuring membrane overlaps are well sealed, this will also deliver effective airtightness and vapour control to help deliver a healthier and more energy efficient building. FrameFoil FR can be combined with the Protect FrameSafe FR or FrameSafe 5000 FR external wall breather membranes to deliver a full wall solution, giving optimum defence against the elements during construction and fire protection for the life of the building.

Features & benefits

• Fully compliant with EN 13501-1 and exceeds requirements in UK Building Regulations Approved Document B & Building Regulations Technical Guidance Document B in Ireland.
• Membrane and tape independently fire tested as a system, providing reassurance in product specification across all building heights.
• Reflective membrane featuring an advanced glass fibre fabric composition with added tensile strength and durability.
• Protect FR Foil Tape available separately to seal laps for complete system solution.
• UKCA & CE marked.
• Ideal for modular, offsite and traditional build on both residential and commercial projects.
