CMS Danskin Acoustics’ Plant Room Lining Panels have had their Limited Combustibility A2-s1,d0 Reaction to Fire classification reconfirmed following developments in slab composition and adhesive. Designed primarily as a means of controlling noise, the panels underwent fresh fire tests to reassess their combustibility. With fire safety crucial and every building product under scrutiny, this provides vital reassurance for specifiers, says the acoustics specialist.
The panels are used to counter sound in plant rooms; from generators, large servers, fans, engine enclosures, test cells; and in other industrial applications, such as workshops. For use on both walls and ceilings, they are effective in controlling reverberation and reflected sound. CMS Danskin Acoustics’ 50mm, 75mm and 100mm panels are assessed as noise Absorption Class A as tested to BS EN ISO 354:2003.
However, CMS Danskin Acoustics’ Plant Room Lining Panels also have A2-s1,d0 (BS EN 13501-1:2018) Reaction to Fire classification when used with specified fixings.
“With the spotlight rightly on fire safety, the fact that our plant room acoustic panels are Limited Combustibility, along with Class A absorption, is good for building designers and contractors as they look to specify products with verified limited combustibility,” says CMS Danskin Acoustics’ Dave Bowen.
Manufactured by CMS Danskin Acoustics in Warrington, the Plant Room Lining Panels consist of non-combustible core material wrapped in a white cloth face.
They provide good thermal insulation, are water resistant and the mineral fibre BRE Green Guide rating is A. They are easy to handle, install and clean.
CMS Danskin Acoustics, part of The Performance Technology Group, manufactures and sources acoustic insulation products advising on acoustic and vibration control materials and noise reduction strategies, including floors, ceilings and walls, to combat airborne, impact and reverberation noise.
