Errigal Facades have recently carried out full scale fire testing of facade elements at Exova’s Cladding Testing Facility in Dubai. The 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 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 is the first of its kind to be tested successfully.
