NON-COMBUSTIBLE INSULATION MATTERS MORE THAN EVER, WITH NI’S CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY ENTERING A NEW ERA OF ACCOUNTABILITY, WHERE PERFORMANCE, SAFETY AND SUSTAINABILITY MUST WORK HAND IN HAND… SIG places fire safety first
A recent Netflix documentary revisiting the Grenfell Tower tragedy has reignited public concern over the use of combustible materials in building façades. The disaster, which claimed 72 lives, has become a stark symbol of what can go wrong when fire safety is not prioritised and a powerful reminder of the importance of choosing the right materials from the start. At SIG, fire safety has always been at the heart of its technical approach. Across its branches in Belfast and Omagh, SIG champions non-combustible insulation and façade solutions that meet the highest fire performance standards, helping architects, specifiers and contractors build safer, regulation- compliant structures from day one. SIG stocks a wide range of A1 and A2-s1,d0-rated insulation products from leading manufacturers such as ROCKWOOL, Knauf Insulation and others. These materials are engineered to resist ignition and prevent fire spread, offering critical protection in both new builds and refurbishments. Whether you’re working on social housing, high-rise apartments or public
buildings, using non-combustible insulation can make all the difference in delivering peace of mind for clients, occupants and communities. But product alone isn’t enough. SIG’s dedicated Technical Building Solutions
