In the harmonized Euroclass system of reaction to fire performance of building products, wood wool boards can be classified as A2-s1, d0 according to EN 13501-1 Fire classification of construction products and building elements; Part 1: Classification using data from reaction to fire tests. [8]
In the United Kingdom, after two significant construction fires which resulted in a combined loss of £1,500 million, The Joint Code of Practice was introduced by the Fire Protection Association (FPA), the UK's national fire safety organisation, [1] to prevent fires on buildings undergoing construction work.
Vertical, metal furring is applied to the wall to create a channel and receive the siding material. In construction, furring (furring strips) are strips of wood or other material applied to a structure to level or raise the surface, to prevent dampness, to make space for insulation, to level and resurface ceilings or walls, [1] or to increase the beam of a wooden ship.
Wall panels made from materials like gypsum board are often selected for their inherent fire-resistant properties. Other materials, such as PVC and WPC panels, can be treated with fire-retardant coatings to meet safety standards. Fire-resistant panels slow down the spread of flames and help contain fires within specific areas, thereby providing ...
Oriented strand board (OSB) is a type of engineered wood, formed by adding adhesives and then compressing layers of wood strands (flakes) in specific orientations. It was invented by Armin Elmendorf in California in 1963. [ 1 ]
