Description

Intumescent Grille

The Envirograf® Fire and Smoke Grilles offer full protection against smoke as well as fire for openings in walls, ceilings, and also fire doors. Installed at the entry point of ventilation ducting. In the event of a fire, the intumescent expands and the grilles automatically seal off.

Grilles placed over ventilation ducting don’t require an intumescent plate. Fires and smoke grilles compartmentalize and prevent fire and smoke from spreading as intumescent expands to create a fire barrier. Smoke inhalation is a leading cause of fatalities where fires occur within households and buildings.

Grilles are designed with open slots which allow viewing, or also louvered for non-viewing.

  • Available with a variety of resetting options, including manual, automatic, thermal as well as memory spring.
  • Furthermore, a non-electrical grille containing a memory spring device operates in the temperature range of 50oC to 65oC, closing the shutter in under 60 seconds.
  • Available in different sizes and also made to order.

Wired into existing fire/smoke alarm systems or into an Envirograf control unit. Tested to BS476 Part 20 (1987), achieving 66 minutes of integrity. Automatic closure grilles tested to BS476 Parts 20 & 22, achieving 73 minutes of fire protection.


Our patented range of passive fire ventilation products meet Document B of UK Building Regulations and tested to European Standards.

Order References / Sizes

THERE ARE 4 MAIN OPTIONS TO THESE GRILLES: –

MANUAL RESET

This type is reset by pushing the internal plate back to its original position by means of pen or screwdriver. The plate is held open by an electro-magnet 24V 125mA.

AUTOMATIC RESET

This type resets itself and has a permanent loading of 24V 125mA, with the solenoid to open the grille taking 24V 8A for 1 second.

THERMAL BREAK

This type closes when the fire gets near the grille. At 55°C, a thermal link breaks and closes the shutter.

MEMORY SPRING

This type closes when the fire gets near the grille. At 50°C to 65°C, the grille will close, but the spring returns to the open position after the fire is over.

 

The grilles are supplied to be open normally and close up in a fire. However, all of these grille types can be made to be closed normally and to open in the event of a fire.

 Manual Reset and Automatic Reset grille options can be wired to a 24V alarm system. Alternatively, an Envirograf® mains to 24V control unit can be used to control up to 8 manual reset grilles or 3 automatic reset grilles. The control units have N O (normally open) and N C (normally closed) contacts to wire to the existing fire alarm or optional smoke detector.
