Fire Performance
Innovative Solutions For Fire Performance
Regarding fire safety, non-combustibility or the ability to resist catching fire, is key. Building materials installed in building systems must not ignite and react to fire prior to flashover; otherwise, they will only accelerate the fire and limit the amount to time that occupants have to evacuate.
Fiberglass is naturally noncombustible, so it requires no additional chemical treatments, and remains so for the life of the product. Fiberglass comes in a variety of forms from batts to blown-in to meet the toughest building codes and customer demands. Ideal for new build, retrofit or remodel.
