Fire Mitigation For Timber Frame During Construction

Fire Mitigation

IWS products are compliant with the new guidance launched by the Structural Timber Association (STA) which was designed to help clients, designers and CDM coordinators

Category A, B and C

The guidance focuses principally on separating distances between a receiver (existing building) and emitter (new timber frame building) and has established how wide these distances need to be to mitigate the fire risk through newly defined practices

On Site Phase

One of the principle benefits of timber frame construction is it’s speed of erection and ability to significantly reduce manual handling of materials on site and working at height, therefore limiting the risk of injury to site staff.

How We can Help

We have developed a system (IWS-FAST) that helps protect the timber frame during the construction stage. Once the building is complete, the system will sit dormant for the life of the building and will still react in the case of a future fire

Words from our MD

IWS products enhance the benefits of timber frame and future proof its continued use by addressing both shrinkage and fire mitigation

Dave Cleverley, Managing Director

A Revolutionary FAST System

We have designed and engineered a system which will cut costs and time on site. Our system will instantly improve speed, efficiency and performance at little or no commercial penalty. We are dedicated to our IWS solutions being “built in” providing our customers with a unique competitive advantage through our “invisible” systems

Addressing Fire Acoustics Structural and Thermal requirements

IWS have created a robust supply chain to ensure that the added levels of protection required to meet Categories B and C will NOT penalise clients unnecessarily either from a logistics or commercial perspective.

The IWS-FAST system delivers innovative timber products to the supply chain
