Description

Fire Cover for Light Fittings

Our fire cover for light fittings provide effectual fire protection. They are impregnated with fire-resistant material and fixed over fluorescent light fittings which are recessed into fire-rated ceilings. Additionally, they are fully ventilated to prevent units from overheating, providing effective fire as well as acoustic protection.

Its simple design makes it easy to fit over light fittings by one person within minutes. You can fit them either during installation of the lighting or retrofit to existing light fittings.

According to fire statistics, overheated light fittings and electrical faults are a leading cause of fire destruction to buildings and homes. With buildings left unprotected, fire and smoke rapidly spread and destroy rooms and properties.

When you instal passive fire products for electrical services you provide multiple benefits including:

• compartmentalising fire
• preventing fire spread
• preserving building structures

The impregnated material will contain the fire, allowing occupants to safely evacuate a building and for fire rescue services to extinguish flames before they become severe.
