Metalline’s fire
rated non-combustible Ultima Spandrel panels have been specified to replace the
existing window panels on five tower blocks on the Chalcots Estate in Camden.
The decision by
Camden Council to replace all combustible material from their tower blocks is
part of a major upgrade to ensure the safety and security of their residents.
A key influence on
the decision to specify Metalline’s Ultima Spandrel Panel was the fabricators
willingness to put their product through an independent fire performance test
to prove its integrity.
The fire performance
test was carried out independently by Efectis a leading provider of fire
science and fire safety testing. As a result, Metalline’s Ultima Spandrel Panel
is the UK’s first Spandrel Panel to achieve a fire rating of 60-minutes
integrity and 60-minutes insulation.
Constructed from A1
non combustible materials the Ultima Spandrel Panel can be specified in a range
of finishes including anodised natural silver, bronzes from light to dark,
black, regency gold 1 & 2 and a specialist Anolok finish in blue grey and stone
grey colours.
