Firemac was established in 1989 and is now the UK's leading supplier of fabric based fire protection systems for ductwork. The company has significant experience in the installation of passive fire protection systems in the UK and internationally, and has developed market leading expertise in passive system technical development and fire testing.
Firemac's range of systems are designed to offer fully tested and fire resistant ductwork, ranging from one hour integrity through to four hours. Instead of using a combination of board and rockwool, which is heavy, cumbersome and requires fabrication onsite, Firemac systems use a flexible fabric, bonded both physically and mechanically onto the duct to give a variety of fire ratings. The result is no need to use self supporting ductwork; reducing time, wastage and cost.
The fabric is manufactured in the UK and all Firemac systems are tested to the requirements of BS476:Part 24:1987.
Firemac systems bring fire rated ductwork back to ductworkers themselves. It allows professionally qualified ductworkers complete control of both fabrication and installation while still achieving required fire ratings. With Firemac systems applied by ductworkers quickly and easily there is no loss of time on site, continuity is guaranteed and any plan changes are easily accomplished.
