Why is fire resilience so important?
The building materials we choose can fundamentally affect the fire safety of buildings and potentially the safety of the people using them. We believe whether a product is combustible or non-combustible is an important consideration in this regard.
In the event of a fire in a building, combustible materials can burn, potentially contributing to a fire’s intensity - and how quickly and far it spreads.
Non-combustible stone wool products will not burn- or fuel or help a fire to spread. In addition, non-combustible stone wool products will not emit significant amounts of toxic smoke in a fire. These two attributes give more time for rescue crews to do their jobs and for building occupants to evacuate.
