FireSound
Ensures Top Acoustic Standards - and Beats All Fire Safety Standards
Hodgson & Hodgson has launched FireSound - the latest addition to its range of high quality acoustic products.
FireSound wall and ceiling panels are designed for use in underground
train stations, airports, schools, sports stadia and railway stations:
in short, any area where there is a need to improve the acoustic environment
whilst providing a high level of fire safety.
FireSound
was designed to comply with London Underground standards for spread of
flame, smoke and toxicity, in areas needing a reduction in reverberant
noise to improve the clarity of messages to passengers over public address
systems. Its aimed at buildings that require the very best fire ratings,
in particular airports and other transport depots and terminals. FireSound
is also well suited to new build schools. FireSound has been tested to
the new European harmonised standards and achieves the Euroclass Reaction
to Fire Classification B-s2, d0 which is considered to be better than
the Old British Standard Class 'O' rating.
In
developing FireSound, Hodgson & Hodgson has not ignored environmental
considerations: the thermal insulation properties that FireSound provides
contribute significantly to the thermal resistance of the building fabric,
helping to ensure compliance with Building Regulations Part L for Energy
Conservation.
"We're
proud to be launching FireSound as part of our range" says Margaret
Narburgh of Hodgson & Hodgson. "It looks good, performs well
acoustically and in terms of safety, its unbeatable, with the Euroclass
Reaction to Fire Classification B-S2, d0. We believe that FireSound is
a unique product offering an unrivalled combination of performance, reliability
and aesthetic appeal".
