Addressing fire risks where composite panels are installed
Lame composite panels have an insulation combustible foam. Where panels are installed, it is important to ensure they are regularly inspected and well-maintained to ensure they remain in safe and good condition. You need to identify and record the type of panels installed on your building and treat them as combustible in your safety management and risk assessment. Composite panels Composite panels are building wall or roof cladding formed of two outer metallic skins and some form of composite insulation material adheres to the panels with no securing. This means that the metal can delaminate from the insulation in a fire unless it is properly secured. We have several types of insulation materials used. Some of these types include polyethylene, polystyrene, and polyisocyanurate. Composite panels are typically used in several applications to form the structural shell of a building. They form enclosures within a building. Each of these poses different challenges when it comes to fi...
