DURASTEEL® is a composite sheet made with a core of fibre cement sandwiched between mechanically bonded galvanised steel facings.
Its exceptional fire protection is combined with lightness and durability. It can withstand prolonged exposure to fire – up to six hours – and while hot, will withstand spray from fire fighters’ hoses or sprinkler action.
DURASTEEL® is also renowned for its impact and blast resistance, particularly relevant in these troubled times.
Typical areas of use include distribution, storage and warehousing, military buildings, petro-chemical plants and offshore platforms, airports, underground train stations, road and rail tunnels, utilities’ installations.
DURASTEEL® has been tested to comply with all relevant parts of BS 476. Barriers have been assessed for use up to 15m for fire while meeting design calculations for wind loads at this height.
DURASTEEL® doorsets are also available. These offer up to four hours fire protection and are available in a wide range of configurations, from single and twin to sliding, trap and oversized.
