Titon launches new CPD on metal air bricks for building applications into external walls @TitonUK

Titon are pleased to announce they have a new CIBSE approved CPD ‘on the use of metal air bricks for building applications in external walls’ specifically looking at Fire Safety.  The CPD was developed in part to the response to Dame Judith Hackitt’s recommendations in her post Grenfell Tower review of building safety, for external walls of buildings to meet a Class A2 specification. The CPD challenges cu rrent practices and legislation in place, specifically looking at Residential/Domestic applications within Approved Document B.

The CPD focuses on:

  • Analysing high flow terminals for powered ventilation systems and how they affect the fire safety of a system depending on the application and product
  • Challenging current ethos and mentalities of current designs and specifications
  • Reviews ‘good practice’ and looks at current system designs

The Titon FireSafe® Air Brick is a specialist product developed and manufactured by offering low resistance to airflow, but high resistance to fire as set out in Approved Document B (fire safety) volume 1: Dwellings, 2019 edition.

The Titon FireSafe® Air Brick is designed and tested to BS EN13141-2:2010 specifically for mechanical ventilation systems.  Made from 1.2mm electrogalvanized sheet steel, fire class A1 ‘no contribution to fire’ and polyester powder coating meeting EN13501-1 classification A2-s1,d0.  The Titon FireSafe® Air Brick is ideal for fire safety applications.
