Fire resistant wall panels from Eurobond's fire resistant Firemaster Extra and Rockspan Extra ranges have been tested by Warrington Fire Research and achieved up to 180 minutes integrity and insulation fire resistance, at spans of up to 12m.

This superior performance means factories can now eliminate the need for mechanical stitching of the joints and still achieve the required levels of fire resistance and reduce panel installation time. The improved spanning capability of Rockspan Extra cuts build costs and increases the available space.

Twelve-metre spans of both Firemaster Wall Extra and Rockspan Extra products were tested at 100mm, 125mm, 150mm and 175mm thicknesses to BS476 Part 22. At a thickness of 175mm with a 0.7mm steel face to both sides, the product achieved 180 minutes integrity and insulation fire resistance without the need for mechanical stitching of the joints.

Eurobond Firemaster Wall Extra is designed for internal use. Developed with durability, structural and fire performance in mind, it has been thoroughly tested and proven in a wide range of structural and fire applications.

Eurobond Rockspan Extra is an exterior composite wall panel, available with Micro-Rib or architecturally flat external profiles.
