FIRE RESISTANCE

Our THRUWALL® Systems have been fire tested according to BS EN1364-1 (non-loadbearing) in both directions, can provide fire resistance (EI) from 60 to 120 MINUTES and is suitable for buildings with a height of more than 18 metres.

Providing crucial time and cost benefits – THRUWALL® removes the external envelope from the critical path ensuring predictable building programmes.

STRUCTURE 30-YEAR WARRANTY

The steel framing system selected for your project will depend on:

• The height of the infill wall • The weight of the cladding • The wind load

The higher the wall the greater the stud depth and gauge will need to be – or tighter stud centres will be required to resist the loads. We can help establish the wind load using BREVE software. Our products and components are RIGOROUSLY TESTED TOGETHER to ensure compatibility and system performance. We are confident that our THRUWALL® solution will stand the TEST OF TIME and our Etex 30-year warranty means that designers and specifiers have complete peace of mind.
