Strict safety regulations and a sense of self-preservation lead many homeowners and commercial property developers to seek out those building materials which will provide the greatest protection in the event of a fire. When it comes to the materials that you use for exterior walls, there are few better than fiber insulated panels, as you will read below. Before you consider using any other type of material, take a look at the reasons so many others insist on mineral fiber insulated panels when erecting new buildings, or renovating your existing structure.
What Makes Mineral Fiber Insulated Wall Panels First Choice for Fire Resistance?
There are a number of properties that fiber insulated panels possess, which make them very desirable for applications where fire resistance is paramount.
- Extremely High Melting Point – The mineral fiber used in insulated wall panels is made from natural stone and slag. This means that it has a very high melting point, of above 2,000°F. Given that the average house fire will burn at around 1,100°F, this makes such panels a very safe choice for any property.
- Good Thermal Insulation – The densely packed nature of mineral fiber insulation helps to form an effective barrier against heat from outside. In the event of a fire in a neighbouring property, this fact could give you vital extra minutes to evacuate your building safely, and protect assets contained within.
- Remain in Excellent Condition – Mineral fiber insulated wall panels are manufactured using materials that are resistant to mold, fungus, mildew, bacteria and moisture. They will not deteriorate over time, which means that they will still provide excellent fire protection many years after they are first installed.
- Strength & Stability – Wall panels with mineral fiber insulation are designed to fit together seamlessly, forming an air and watertight seal. This makes them very strong and stable, assuming they are properly installed, which is an obvious bonus should a fire happen to start on your property. The longer that walls remain standing, the more chance there is for escape without injury, and asset protection.
