Fire Attenuation
Fire attenuation screens are designed to resist radiant heat to minimise the risk of fire spreading between buildings.
The purpose of a fire attenuation screen is to increase the chance of people safely leaving a building under threat of fire and reduce the intensity of the fire impact whilst the fire is being brought under control.
Minimise the risk of fire with Amplimesh® Fire Attenuation Screens
The National construction code requires that openings within buildings less than 3m from a property boundary or within 6m of another building in the same allotment must be protected from fire.
Amplimesh® Fire Attenuation screens have been subjected to two hours of rigorous testing by the CSIRO and in accordance with relevant Australian Standards. During testing, Amplimesh® OneFrame and SupaScreen® was subjected to an irradiance heat of 40kW/m2 for a period of 2-hours and demonstrated a reduction to radiant heat by up to 59%, significantly lowering the threat of fire.
