Fire containment System for Valance Insulated Panel, Non-Backpan Designs.
We are excited to introduce the firestop industry’s first perimeter fire containment system for valance insulated panel, non-backpan designs. This cutting-edge design listing is a cost-effective, “all vision glass solution” that can be installed in the shop or on-site or as a new install method for traditional insulated spandrel areas.
- Cost-effective All Vision Glass solution that can be installed in the shop or on-site
- Allows lower section of spandrel area to be insulated for thermal or uninsulated
- Multiple spandrel types including vision glass, glass, stone, ACM, and MCP panels
- Designs allowing structural silicone in addition to pressure plate/gasket
- Anchor shielded from direct flame impingemen
- Class II or III Movement Capability - +/-5% Vertical Shear
- Less than 1 CFM L rated
- Specs call for minimum 3” thick 8 pcf faced or unfaced ROCKWOOL CURTAINROCK 80 insulation
- 2 Hour Rated
Designs for Steel Stud and Rainscreen Conditions
Rainscreen conditions represent a unique design challenge when it comes to maintain fire resistance ratings. Ventilation gaps and drainage critical to protect the structure from forming mold can just as easily allow for flame and smoke propagation floor to floor during a fire event.
STI offers a complete package of tested perimeter fire barrier designs that maintain fire resistance ratings without interfering with ventilation and drainage.
