Firewall Mildsteel
Tested for Propagation of fire up to two hours by National Test House
- ASTME 119/ BS 476 (As per Pt. 20 and 24)
- IS: 162:1950
Unprotected steelwork can reach temperatures of 550°C in a fire, where it then can lose its load bearing capacity and collapse. Basic safety dictates fire protection to upgrade the fire resistance of buildings.
