Fire Performance

Underwriters and landlords are demanding fire rated coldrooms to minimise risk and insurance premiums. Kingspan Modular Coldrooms are constructed using insulated panels with FIREsafe LPCB approved cores. PIR is amongst the most efficient insulating materials available. Its low-density rigid core exhibits superior thermal stability and lower combustibility when compared
to other insulating materials. There are a number of tests which identify the performance of products when tested in relation to fire.

Kingspan Modular Coldroom insulated panels provide Fire Resistance of up to 1 hour. When exposed to flame PIR forms a strong carbonaceous char that protects the core foam from ignition. PIR is recognised industry wide as the fire safe alternative to foam cores including polyurethane and polystyrene.
