Extend your safeguards against fire and smoke.
Stonhard fire-resistant floors and walls add components to your facility's efforts to protect people and property in the event of a fire.
What is Fireproof Flooring?
Fire-resistant flooring and wall systems include properties that are resistant to fire and will not structurally fail for a specified amount of time. These can be differentiated based on ASTM Methods. Fireproof floors and walls are able to catch on fire but have the ability to self-extinguish.
While fire-resistant floors and walls are some of the safeguards that help protect people from harm, if a fire were to break out in your facility, it is essential that proper fire safety procedures are followed in order to save lives.
