Choosing the right solution for fire compartmentation of counterframes is critically important in the context of construction and historic restoration and rehabilitation, especially considering safety standards and the growing concern about fires involving facade thermal insulation. In the general thermal insulation market, where some Class A solutions may show limitations in high temperature resistance to flames, it is essential to explore advanced alternatives.

One of the main challenges is the distinction between"Reaction to Fire" and "Fire Resistance." These two concepts, which are often confused, play distinct roles in evaluating the behavior of materials in the presence of fire. "Reaction to fire" refers to the response of a material to initial exposure to fire, while "Fire resistance" indicates the ability of a structural element to maintain integrity and stability in a fire for a given period of time.

The spread of fires through insulated facades and thermal insulation is a widespread concern, and the solution proposed in the 'integration of Nobilium Thermalpanel low-thickness insulation board addresses these issues effectively. The fact that this insulation is composed of pure basalt rock, free of thermosetting resins, offers a significant advantage. Thermosetting resins can be vulnerable to high flame temperatures, but a material such as basalt, known for its inherent thermal resistance, provides a safer and more sustainable solution.

Protecting building façades using Nobilium Thermalpanel low-thickness thermal insulation is a winning strategy, limiting fire damage by helping to contain the spread of fire from floor to floor.

In conclusion, the differentiation between "Fire Reaction" and "Fire Resistance" is of paramount importance in the selection of thermal insulation, especially when it comes to preventing the spread of fires in facades. The approach of our low-thickness Nobilium Thermalpanel thermal insulation, based on pure basalt rock, seems promising in providing solid resistance to high flame temperatures, thus contributing to the safety and protection of buildings and people.
