Fire Protection on Staircase
Gumthorn specialises in A1 fire rating protection using specialised coating applied to surfaces such as concrete. The coatings provide passive fire protection.
Key Characteristics of A1-Rated Materials
- They pass the strictest tests for non-combustibility.
- They do not ignite, sustain burning, or add to the fire load.
- No additional smoke or droplet sub-ratings are needed, unlike lower classes.
- They are ideal for high-risk areas such as high-rise buildings, hospitals, schools, escape routes, firewalls, and façades where maximum fire safety is required.
