FIRE TESTING
Errigal Facades in conjunction with our supply chain, our client & consultants have recently carried out two full scale fire test’s of facade elements at Exova’s Cladding Testing Facility in Dubai.
Over a 4 week period these tests were carried out to BS8414 Part 2 and classified against Annex B BR135 as a route to compliance for use of combustible materials above 18m. Errigal’s remit included testing rig configuration, material procurement, logistics and rig build.
The testing rigs reflected the finishes chosen on an upcoming project in East London and included a combination of materials with differing wall build-ups, fire classification and insulation thickness, which are the first of its kind to be tested successfully.
A further test on a rainscreen cladding solution will be carried out in late December.
