This fire presentation looks at current case studies of the balcony fires that have happened this year, explores common causes and how these can be designed out. It also gives clarity on the current fire regulations and Sapphire’s active product development. These solutions are above what is currently required but will give advice on what regulations we feel balconies will likely need to meet in the future.
Balcony fires are continuing to happen and with the potential of a combustible cladding ban (which could include balconies), Sapphire have begun developing a range Class A1, A2 & B rated decking and soffits. Find out how to minimise the risk of balcony fires and what your options are for the future.
