 | | NEW PROMAT DURASTEEL WEBSITE HIGHLIGHTS EXCEPTIONAL FIRE PROTECTION | | | Promat UK Limited | | 26/03/2008 | | | Specifiers and clients hunting the solution to their exceptional fire protection needs are being offered an invaluable online resource.
Promat UK has launched a new website for its fit-and-forget fire barrier, Promat Durasteel. The site provides a simple yet comprehensive rundown on the market-leading product, its applications and specifications.
The site also features examples of Promat Durasteel in action. It has been used on landmark projects such as Heathrow’s Terminal 5, the Jubilee Line Extension and the Westfield development in London’s White City.
Recent high profile fires have pushed fire protection up the agenda. Rigorous British Standard recommendations, Building Regulations, new fire regulations under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order, and the demands of insurers mean it’s not an area where specifiers and building owners can afford to cut corners. Fire compartmentation is a vital component of building design. Promat Durasteel is a complete containment system – one that’s been tried and tested under the most extreme conditions.
Promat Durasteel is a tough composite sheet made with a core of fibre cement sandwiched between mechanically-bonded galvanised sheet facings. Its exceptional fire protection, high-impact and blast resistance are combined with lightness and durability. It can withstand prolonged exposure to fire – up to six hours – and, while hot, will withstand spray from fire-fighters’ hoses or sprinkler action.
Typical applications include distribution, storage and warehousing, military buildings, petro-chemical plants and offshore platforms, airports, underground train stations, road and rail tunnels, utilities’ installations and fire resistant ducting in major commercial and public assembly buildings. Other key clients for Promat Durasteel include the Ministry of Defence, BT, London Electricity, and logistics group Hayes.
Fully tested and with a network of licensed installers, Promat Durasteel is the one-stop solution specifiers know they can rely on.
Promat website is a complete guide for architects, engineers and surveyors who want to get the most from Promat Durasteel systems, and from Promat UK’s fire protection expertise. It’s easy to use, with seven key sections – such as news, applications, enquiries and links – instantly accessible from the home page. The site also includes a detailed specification guide for Promat Durasteel high performance systems that can been downloaded, along with guides for complementary fire doors and fire-rated ducting.
The new website is backed-up with an informative, interactive CD-ROM which tells the fascinating story behind Durasteel’s unsurpassed reputation for fire protection and safety. It shows the Durasteel manufacturing process, fire and impact testing, and covers its compliance with UK and major international fire certification. You can see how Promat Durasteel’s licensed installers are selected and stringently checked under the third party FIRAS accreditation scheme: and how all elements are tested as a complete system before providing the warranted certificate of conformity. You can also take a tour of the product’s application at landmark projects across the UK . | |
