Advantages Of Fireproofing

Outburst of an accidental fire causes major harm to life and property

. Precious life of millions of people is at stake during such a mishap, along with large sums of money. Therefore, adequate fireproofing measures are the need of the hour. Fireproofing is a fire protection measure that involves making structures or material fire retardant, so that they can withstand large amounts of heat and resist burning.

Each and every building, residential complex or office needs to have a fire prevention system in place. And what can be better than having the structure itself made using fireproofing material. Fiber-based or foam structures are made using thermally-stable or fireproofing material so as to block the heat flow through the thickness of the material, which in turn prevents fire from spreading.

Glass wood, polymeric material, fiberglass, cellulose fibers, and ceramics are the commonly used thermal insulation and fireproofing material that are used for the purpose. There are two ways to make the structure fireproof, first by using fireproofing material (like fiberglass), which does not require any chemicals, or by using material like cellulose that needs additional fire-retardant chemical treatments.

Any of the forms, whether it is

Batt Insulation or Blown in Insulation can be used to make the structure thermally stable, and both have their pros & cons that need special diligence. Batt Insulation deals with installing fiberglass, mineral wool, plastic fibers or natural fibers into the structures in the form of a continuous blanket. Fiberglass when used in batt type does not settle with age, and maintains its R-value (a measure of insulating power) over the life of the product.

If you have already designed your home, and are in no mood to open up your walls just to make it fireproof, then the solution for you is Blown Insulation. It is an excellent technique to make the existing structures thermally stable by blowing in cellulose, fiberglass or mineral wool into the wall cavities, unfinished attics and every nook & corner of the structure.

You may choose any type of insulation, whether it is batt or blown in, but the main objective lies in fireproofing the structures, so that they restrain spreading of fire, which subsequently will help save invaluable lives and money loss.
