Advantages of FireSafe Pyrofortress panel
Exceptional Impact Resistance
The core of the PyroFortress panel, a high-strength fiber concrete board, is mechanically bonded between perforated steel plates on both sides. This distinctive construction, a composite board manufactured with care, ensures the panel’s exceptional impact resistance, making it capable of withstanding various types of impact and blasting conditions. These outer facings, which can be made from galvanized steel or other steel finishes, are critical to the overall resilience of the panel. The process of crafting this panel involves pressing the steel plates into the fiber cement board, allowing for variation in the thickness and material of the surface steel plates. Consequently, different thicknesses provide differing levels of impact resistance.
Whether you’re dealing with firefighter hoses or other high-pressure situations, the PyroFortress panel stands firm. Its construction means that even under severe conditions, the durasteel systems remain resistant and robust. This panel’s adaptability and resilience mark it as a true standout, offering exceptional defense and adaptability in a range of challenging circumstances.
Fire Protection
The core material of the panel is made of silica and calcium inorganic materials, understood for their exceptional fire resistance. This creates a board capable of withstanding extreme temperatures and maintaining its structural integrity even under severe conditions. With a properly designed system, the PyroFortress panel can accomplish a fire resistance degree of more than 4 hours, and with some special items, align to 6 hrs. This degree of fire resistance supplies better defense for fire solutions as well as various other high-risk applications.
Lightweight Yet Strong Load-Bearing Structure
The PyroFortress panel is not just lightweight but also high in strength, making it an excellent load-bearing structure. It’s a great alternative to traditional reinforced concrete solid walls. For instance, to achieve a fire resistance level of 4 hours, a solid wall would need to be 240mm thick. In contrast, a 9.5mm PyroFortress panel with a 120mm x 60mm x 3mm channel steel keel and stuffed with stone wool in the middle is only 140mm thick. This design significantly reduces the weight from 600kg/m2 to 80kg/m2, making it an efficient choice for various applications.
Effortless Installation with FireSafe PyroFortress Panel
Change your building procedure with FireSafe PyroFortress Panel, a remarkable alternative to standard reinforced concrete solid walls. This panel is designed for ease of setup, calling for marginal effort from employees and also permitting a modular building and construction method.

Essentially, FireSafe PyroFortress Panel is not simply a product, but a comprehensive solution that streamlines your building process while guaranteeing premium fire as well as blast resistance. The outer confrontings of perforated galvanized steel supply greater resistance, making this board with the ability of enduring the influence of firefighter hoses, leaving the systems stay resistant.
