The higher or bigger the building
and the higher the number
of people in the building,
the more stringent are the requirements
of the building materials
used.
This includes in particular high-rise buildings, hospitals, residential care homes, schools, children’s nurseries as well as sports stadiums and other public buildings, in which you would expect to find a large number of people present.
Inside the building emergency
routes and exits have the
greatest significance, since, on
the one hand, they should
enable people to get out of
the building safely and on the
other facilitate the access of
rescue services and fire-fighters
to the building, even some
time after fire has broken out.
As a consequence, only building
materials of the material
classification A are used for
escape routes.
In case of fire,
these materials must meet the
requirements, not only of low combustibility
but also those
relating to the generation of
smoke and toxic gasses.
Our building
materials in metal and particularly the expanded glass granulate panel with inorganic binding agents MIKROPOR G
meet these most stringent requirements. |
