Construction product manufacturer ROCKWOOL has announced the first products to launch from its new global centre of excellence for fire-stopping at Hams Hall, Birmingham.
In line with the company’s commitment to industry-leading practice, the new FirePro range has been tested and classified to the most recent fire resistance standards (including BS EN 1366-4, BS EN 1366-3 and BS EN 13501-2) that will become mandatory in 2029, ensuring the range is ready a full four years early and helping customers to get ahead and future-proof their specifications.
For added assurance, FirePro’s testing has also been third party audited and certified for safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance by independent certification body UL-Solutions.
“At ROCKWOOL, we don’t just meet fire safety standards – we help drive best practice. That means advocating for tough, easy-to-apply regulations and approaches that reflect the real risks facing modern buildings,” explains Ben Peach, product and technical solutions director at ROCKWOOL Ltd.
“We’re always looking ahead and helping our customers to navigate change, which is why we’ve tested and classified the new FirePro range to the latest fire resistance standards – so our customers can specify with confidence.”
