In a breakthrough for the UK timber industry, Burnblock® fire retardant treatment now combines with Remmers high-performance paint coatings.
In recent years, advancements with colour coating systems have increased the design possibilities for timber.
Architects and specifiers have embraced these innovative new design options to great effect, especially when it comes to cladding. Projects have harnessed stone grey, coal black charred look and even RAL 5014 blue timber cladding coatings.
This demand has led to even further technical developments with colour coating and fire-retardant treatments in the industry. However, combining coated timber with a Euroclass B fire rating – that is, wood with very limited contribution to fire – has proved a challenge.
That is, until now.
Duffield Timber are proud to introduce: Burnblock® with Remmers
Up until this point, colour and fire retardant coatings have been incompatible. Fire retardants can affect uptake of other coatings.
In an industry first, Remmers have successfully fire-tested their specialised coating system using Burnblock® treated timber.
