Coopers Fire are proud to launch their insulated fire curtain – the FireMaster Insul8
An insulated (EI) fire curtain is something the business has been striving towards, and are really pleased to announce this launch which continues to demonstrate that Coopers Fire ‘Lead the Way in Fire Protection’.
Coopers Fire new Insulated Fire Curtain, the FireMaster Insul8, has been tested by Warrington Fire to BS EN 1634-1 and achieves an integrity of 240 minutes (E240) a radiance of 240 minutes (EW240) and insulation of 90 minutes (EI1 90). This is a very exciting addition to our range and will ensure that escape routes are protected from radiant heat, preserving structural integrity and reducing secondary fire risk as well as suitable for other applications in a building.
After many years of Research and Development, Coopers are pleased to unveil a pioneering product in fire protection and offer the FireMaster Insul8 fire curtain in sizes up to 7.3m width and 3.35m drop.
The FireMaster Insul8 Insulated Fire Curtain boasts advanced thermal insulation properties, providing a defense against the intense heat generated during a fire. In the event of a fire, the curtain deploys under a controlled descent, creating a fire resistant and thermally insulated barrier that helps contain the flames and limit the damage. The quick deployment of a fire curtain is critical in emergencies, offering occupants valuable seconds to evacuate safely and providing emergency responders with a more controlled environment.
