GO BEYOND WITH YOUR PASSIVE FIRE PROTECTION

Fire safety must be at the heart of every stage of the construction process, especially on high-rise buildings. However, with new legislation and standards being introduced across the UK, it can be a challenge to ensure design and installation approaches are in line with Building Regulations and best practice.

Supported by Services that Go Beyond the Standard

Even the best passive fire protection can underperform if not specified and installed correctly. This is why Siderise has developed one of the most wellresourced and highly-trained Technical Services team in the sector. With an enormous amount of product test data and decades of experience, they offer free assistance, including specification advice, detailing, engineering judgements and CPD seminars.

In this environment, passive fire protection manufacturers have a vital role to play. They must not only provide tested and certified solutions but deliver these with the tools, services and guidance that will enable project teams to create buildings that meet the highest safety and performance standards.

Products That Go Beyond Requirements

At a basic level, project teams need access to fire safety products and solutions that not only achieve compliance but have been designed to take into consideration how they meet the real-life requirements of customers.

This has been a driving force for Siderise Insulation, setting the company at the forefront of passive fire safety innovation. This started in 1991, when the company developed vertically-fibred Lamella insulation using patented technology to create a robust, pre-compressed solution that enables excellent fit, best-in-class fire performance and longevity with 60year age testing.

This technology is used throughout Siderise Insulation’s passive fire protection solutions, which are comprehensively fire tested to national and international standards— with more than 150 fire resistance tests with over 300 products and over 250 largescale reaction-to-fire tests to date.

Testing is the only way to determine the performance of passive fire protection products and suitability for their intended application. This is why Siderise opened its own £1 million Innovation Centre. Operational from January 2023, it features a specialist fire test furnace, enabling testing to any published fire test curve, including EN, ASTM, UL and ISO standards.

This technical support is continued onsite, with dedicated Siderise Site Services. In addition to providing project-specific advice, they were the first in the industry to have their Product Installation Training delivery method certified to ISO 29993: 2017 and in the last year delivered training to over 2,000 people and conducted over 1,350 site visits.

Let’s Go Beyond Together

As global experts in passive fire protection, Siderise are dedicated to acting as a trusted project partner. With a robust testing approach and investment in ensuring technical excellence, Siderise are equipping design and construction teams across the globe with the cutting-edge solutions and tools they need to create a safe built environment for the future.
