Tried and tested barrier products from the FIREFLY® range were employed by a long-term member of the manufacturer’s established installer network during the run-up to Christmas, in order to upgrade the roof-space of a two-storey residential building in Sheerness belonging to the Southern Housing Group. The four flats on Richmond Street, dating from the 1960s are traditionally built and in a good state of repair, but the design of the roof-space was deemed not to fully comply

Already widely specified for flooring applications and creating ‘protected zones’ in roof-spaces, FIREFLY® FB 180 ablative batts are now also being used to provide fire compartmentation beneath raised access floors.

The challenge was organised in memory of colleague Mikey Shoer, Pyroguard’s former Technical

It is the same question raised by a substation fire at Heathrow and a car park fire at Luton Airport: how resilient is our critical infrastructure to the fires that inevitably occur around it? The fire on Sunday 8th March broke out in a retail unit adjacent to Glasgow Central Station. Within hours, the B-l
