Cost savings through Firemaster
October 3rd 2011
The first scenario was a
single storey industrial or retail building with 2 hour fire
separation wall 7.50m - 8.00m high. When compared to a jumbo stud
wall the Firemaster Wall Extra solution could save up to 40% per
m². When compared to blockwork the Firemaster Wall Extra solution
could save up to 22% per m².
The second scenario was
a retail store back wall with 1 hour fire separation wall 4.00m -
4.50m high. When compared to a jumbo stud wall the Firemaster Wall
Lite solution could save up to 20% per m². When compared to
blockwork the Firemaster Wall Lite solution could save up to 12%
per m².
Commenting on the
results of the study Chris Hassett, Firemaster sales manager,
said,
"This cost research confirms the
feedback we have received from contractors and designers who have
found out for themselves the benefits of a Firemaster solution. If
you are specifying a non-load bearing fire rated
compartment and partition walls, a Firemaster solution could show
considerable saving over conventional constructions. And the higher
the wall and the higher the fire resistance required - the
likelihood is that the cost saving will be larger.
"
Firemaster is manufactured by Eurobond Laminates
Limited and has been developed as a 'total internal wall and
ceiling solution' ideally suited
for the construction of non load bearing internal partition walls,
and ceilings. The approved system provides a tested fire resistance
in order to perform as internal firewalls, ceilings or
compartmentation walls, and is designed to be integrated with
Eurobond's Firemaster doors for a complete fire resistant solution.
At the core of each Firemaster panel is non combustible stone wool
insulation that guarantees the highest level of fire performance
and low environmental impact.
