Flame Spread and Smoke Ratings
Updated February 2003
Profile Moulding’s products have a flame spread rating of less than 75 with smoke development of 350-435 when tested in accordance with ASTM-E84. This rating meets the requirements of the Residential Universal Building Code for Foamed Plastic Trim.
“Mouldings manufactured by any number of alternative methods are rarely the focus of fire rating specifications owing to the percentage of the wall that they occupy; however, Profile Mouldings recommends checking with local building codes if there is any question regarding these requirements.”
Upon customer request, the Profile Mouldings fire rating can be upgraded to ensures a "UL", Class 2 (B) rating*. The capability of the "UL" rated products limits flame spread in the ASTM E-84 tunnel test to only 40 and reduces smoke development to 225-325.
*Please Note:
· Additional charges will apply to products being manufactured with a fire resistant rating in excess of regular standards.
· Orders for product exceeding regular fire resistant ratings may impact on delivery time. |
