The High Strength, Fire Rated subframe system for peace of mind

SAiGE have launched a brand-new aluminium subframe system. SAiGE’s aluminium subframe has a simple, sturdy and high strength design, the aluminium joists along with adjustable pedestals and cradles is quick to install and perfect for any complexity of project. SAiGE’s subframe is available in FR and non-FR options.

For a fire-resistant sub-frame system that conforms to EN13501-1 B ratings and still offers high strength, look no further than the SAiGE aluminium subframe system. This system has been developed with fire safety in mind following the recent change in legislations on the use of combustible materials in high rise buildings.

The fire-resistant cradles and pedestals conform to EN13501-1 B fire testing making them suitable for commercial projects such as roof terraces, balconies and podiums. Made up of 30% glass filled nylon, they are also lightweight making it easier to work with during construction.

The structure of the joists means they are not only durable but can also work on a much longer span compared to similar systems, reducing the quantity of pedestals and cradles needed and in turn reducing the cost and labour time on side. Supports can be placed every 800mm on a 50mm joist and still offer maximum strength.

For a complete Fire-resistant solution the SAiGE Aluminium Subframe can be used in conjunction with the SAiGE Fire Resistant decking boards.
