High Impact Soffit Liner Boards with Euroclass Reaction to Fire A2-s1,d0 classification are now available from AIM – Acoustic & Insulation Manufacturing. For use with concrete soffits where thermal or acoustic performance is required, the boards offer excellent impact resistance, so providing an insulated lining designed for semi exposed soffits, such as in car parks.
AIM manufactures a variety of non-fire rated High Impact Soffit Liner Boards. Now, the fire, acoustic and thermal insulation specialist has invested in reaction to fire testing for its stonewool backed board, resulting in an A2-s1,d0 classified ‘limited combustibility’ option to add to the range.
The primary job of a soffit liner is to provide thermal insulation to the soffit typically the ceiling within semi exposed places, including car parks. In such instances there is a requirement that the soffit insulation is protected with a cement board and that the combined product is of limited combustibility. AIM’s A2 High Impact Soffit Liner Boards manufactured with stonewool insulation are classified in accordance with BS EN 13501-1 as A2-s1,d0 ‘limited combustibility’. This applies to boards of a thickness from 56mm to 256mm.
AIM’s A2 High Impact Soffit Liner Boards can also be used as internal linings for walls and ceilings.
They are available in a wide range of thicknesses and insulation materials to suit the thermal resistance (U Value) required to support the thermal performance of the construction. The AIM Technical Support Team can provide U Value calculations as required.
The boards can also contribute to the overall acoustic performance of the soffit/floor construction. Acoustic testing is covered by Z11012 – Acoustic Performance BS EN ISO 10140-2.
The fibre cement facing board can be easily decorated to match colour schemes. However, decoration would be outside the scope of the classification report for reaction to fire. Pre-decorated and through coloured facing boards are available but these have not been classified for reaction to fire.
