The Importance of Fire-Resistant Insulation

Cavity walls are an important feature in modern building construction as they provide a gap or space between two walls, which helps to prevent moisture from penetrating the inner wall and causing damage. 

However, this cavity can also act as a chimney in the event of a fire, allowing flames and heat to spread quickly through the wall cavity and reach other areas of the building. In order to prevent the spread of fire and protect the building and its occupants, it is important to use fire-resistant insulation in the cavity walls.

Fire-resistant insulation in these walls can help to delay the spread of fire and provide extra time for occupants to evacuate safely. Additionally, fire-resistant insulation can minimize the damage caused by the fire and reduce the cost of repairs and rebuilding.

The Fire Resistance of ComfortWall Granulated Rockwool Insulation

One of the key factors that makes ComfortWall (granulated rockwool insulation) fire-resistant is its ability to resist ignition. The insulation is designed to be non-combustible, which means that it will not ignite or burn when exposed to fire. Instead, it will smolder and char, but will not contribute to the spread of flames.

In addition to its non-combustible nature, ComfortWall is also designed to slow the spread of fire. When exposed to high temperatures, the insulation will create a protective layer of ash that helps to insulate the material and prevent it from melting or breaking down. This layer of ash also helps to prevent the spread of flames to other areas of the building.

The fire-resistant properties of ComfortWall make it an excellent choice for cavity walls in commercial buildings and multi-story homes. In the event of a fire, the insulation can help to prevent the spread of flames and provide extra time for occupants to evacuate safely. It can also minimize the damage caused by the fire and reduce the cost of repairs and rebuilding.
