Advanced Fire Protection Other Passive Fire Protection Products
Fire Barriers for Ventilated Cladding Cladding systems are designed with an air cavity
that acts like an open chimney to provide back
ventilation. However, in a fire situation this chim-
ney effect creates an open path for the spread of
fire. The FF109 VFB maintains the back
ventilation in normal conditions, but, in the event
of fire, quickly expand to seal off the cavity.
Fire Stop Blocks TENMAT's FF108 Fire Stop Block is a unique,
compressible and fully intumescent alternative to
traditional fire stop pillows.
The Fire Stop Block can be supplied in up to
1 meter lengths and then be cut to size on site,
to ensure maximum flexibility and minimum
wastage.
Fire Barriers for Linear Gaps & Joints TENMAT's fully intumescent and compressible
FF108 materials are supplied as linear gap or
expansion joint seals.
The seals are available in a range of thicknesses
and widths to suit a wide variety of gap sizes.
The materials offer excellent compression and
movement characteristics and are easy to fit.
Fire Rated Pipe Sleeves TENMAT FF 109 Pipe Fire Sleeves are an
intumescent solution providing fire and acoustic
protection to combustible and non-combustible
pipes, ventilation ducting and cable bunches
when penetrating fire rated walls or floors.
The FF109 Fire Rated Pipe Sleeves are ready to
install providing a quick and easy solution
without the need for foams, mastic or sealant.
Recessed lights in ceilings are widely used in residential and commercial buildings.
Each ceiling is subject to fire regulations and where applicable the ceiling
construction needs to be fire rated. However, once a hole is made in the ceiling for
recessed lighting, the integrity of the construction and its ability to perform in a fire
is reduced significantly. Code Officials and lawmakers have recognized this fire
hazard and the potential risks it poses to life and property. The Building Code
therefore requires recessed fixtures to be enclosed with a fire barrier.
TENMAT covers are made from intumescent and fire resistant materials which
meet and exceed the building code requirements. TENMAT materials have
outstanding firestopping capabilities and provide a one or two hour fire protection.
Multiple independent third party laboratories have tested and approved TENMAT
materials as outlined by the most stringent standards and codes.
TENMAT has changed the way how many builders, contractors and architects deal
with the problem of fire rating recessed lights. TENMAT offers the only flexible,
lightweight and fully fire tested enclosures on the market to securely fire rate your
recessed lights. The covers can be used in conjunction with a vast majority of
recessed lights, regardless of manufacturer or model.
TENMAT Fire Rated Light Covers do not require any assembly and are simply put
on top of the light without the need for any sealant, fastener or specialty tool.
TENMAT recessed light and troffer covers are used in various applications
throughout the United States and Canada; from multi-story apartment buildings,
over single-family homes to college dormitories, hotels and assisted living facilities.
TENMAT is the market leader in the production of Fire Rated Recessed Light
Covers which meet the International Building Code, NFPA, as well as the Uniform
Building Code.
How do TENMAT Fire Rated Light Covers work?
TENMAT covers prevent the passage of
flames and insulate against excessive heat
build up. Without the covers, the fire could
quickly spread and the building structure
could be weakened.
The FF109 Fixture Protection Covers have
intumescent characteristics so that in case
of a fire the covers expand internally to form
a highly insulative char to seal off any gaps
and prevent the fire and heat from spreading
further.
Are TENMAT Fire Rated Light Covers suitable for a range of fixtures?
Yes! TENMAT Fixture Protection Covers have been designed to fit over a wide range of
recessed light fixtures and troffers. TENMAT Fire Rated Light Covers come in different
sizes with different heights and diameters and are suitable for a broad range of recessed
light models from various manufacturers.
The covers can be used for new construction as well as remodel projects, giving the
architect and specifier finally the freedom to select the right light and fixture of their choice.
My light is IC rated. Doesn’t that mean it is already fire rated?
No! IC–rated fixtures are designed and tested for direct contact with
insulation, but are by themselves poor flame barriers. Most IC
fixtures are made either from light sheet metal or aluminum that
breaks down rapidly when in direct contact with fire. While IC-rated
lights are just constructed to be used in insulated ceilings, fire rated
lights and covers are required by the code and serve as a fire -
barrier in the event of a fire. TENMAT Fire Rated Light Covers
are also approved for use in conjunction with IC-rated lights and will maintain the fire rating
of the ceiling.
Are TENMAT Fire Rated Light Covers easy to install?
Yes! TENMAT covers are supplied ready to install. There is no additional assembly, fixing
or sealing required. The covers can be installed with a single trip up the ladder without
screws and nails! The flexible nature of the covers makes installation extremely easy in
places with limited space. The FF109 covers are extremely lightweight (about 2 lbs.) and
can be easily handled by one person. The covers are simply placed over the light fixture.
What are the benefits of TENMAT Covers over the drywall box method?
TENMAT Fire Barriers are ready-to-use and require NO additional assembly.
Contractors and Builders using TENMAT Fire Rated Enclosures experience significant
time and cost savings as they are able to install the covers much faster than building bulky
drywall boxes.
Light fixtures are often installed in ceilings where pipes, conduits, wiring and joists are in
close proximity. The flexible nature of the cover enables it to be fitted around these
obstructions or retro-fitted.
TENMAT covers are manufactured to the highest quality control standards, are fully fire
tested and are readily available in stock.
Yes. TENMAT covers form a barrier
over the fixtures which helps to prevent
heat loss from the room below and
contributes to improved heating and
cooling efficiencies.
TENMAT users experience significant
energy savings.
Can TENMAT Covers reduce noise transmission through the fixture?
Yes. TENMAT covers are designed to completely cover the
fixtures and exhibit excellent acoustic insulating properties.
The covers have been tested for their soundproofing capabilities
and found to significantly reduce the noise traveling through the
holes made in the ceiling for the fixtures.
How fast can I get TENMAT Fire Rated Light Covers?
TENMAT has a broad network of stocking distributors throughout
the entire United States. Material is usually in stock and can be
shipped within 24 hours.
When time is at a premium, TENMAT is your fastest and most
reliable source for code compliant fire protection solutions.
