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".
