With trends towards increased public building sizes (hotels, hospitals, universities) requiring fire-retardant materials and the requirement for more streamlined construction processes as a result of the large-scale projects scaling up post COVID, the need for products that enable streamlining of interior fitouts is high.
Professional interior fitout company,Volutique, based in Rennes, France recently chose theFastmount Stratlock®RangeFire-Rated Seriesto mount 900 decorative panels in 2500m2of public space in 7 stations of the Rennes subway.
The project was able to meet public building fire standards by using 18,000 pairs ofSL-FB-FRandSL-M18-FRclips on the chipboard and stainless-steel covered panels, with some of the largest measuring 2440mm tall by 1140mm wide, and weighing up to 80kg each.
TheSL-M18-FRwas simply screwed to the 16mm M1 fire-rated panel and mounted into theSL-FB-FRwhich was clipped into a horizontal steel framework on the wall. The result was a substantial saving in installation time, and a superior finish on the removable panels, which can be removed and refitted easily for maintenance of services (access to cables and plumbing).
Clips available in theStratlock Range Fire-Rated Seriesare the femaleSL-FA-FR, SL-SFA-FR, SL-FB-FRand the maleSL-M18-FR, and all Underwriter Laboratory fire-rating tests are available on our website. The series is available now from Authorised Distributors worldwide – see where your closest distributor isHERE.
