Advanced Intumescents for Hospitality & Retail
Tenmat offers a wide range of solutions that protect openings in hospitality and retail buildings.
Life Safety in Hospitality.
Developing a new shopping mall? Designing a luxury beachfront resort? Then, you need to address your project’s unprotected openings. By hosting large volumes of people on daily, it is important to address any potential threats to the building and its occupants.Â
One of the biggest threats to any building and its occupants is the chance of a fire. In the instance a fire breaks out, occupants will begin to evacuate the premises. However, several challenges arise – each one ending with the demand for more time.
In these buildings, unprotected ceilings are a prime catalyst for the acceleration of fire. Â By properly fire rating these openings, occupants and first responders are gifted additional to evacuate and respond. Therefore, architects and developers have adopted passive fire protection systems into their hospitality and retail buildings to ensure proper response time is achieved.
First Line of Defense.
Passive fire protection systems, such as TENMAT’s intumescent solutions, serve as the first line of defense in life safety. With its prime role of containing fires, Tenmat’s Advanced Intumescents keep flames, heat, and smoke from accelerating throughout the building.
By containing these fires, it allows for additional time to evacuate and firefighters to respond. Therefore, protecting the building’s occupants and minimizing property damage.
For LED Wafer-Styled Lights
To maintain a luxurious atmosphere, shopping centers and hotels tend to favor a recessed lighting design. However, if left unprotected, the penetrations of recessed lighting fixtures can act as a pathway for fire spread. Here at Tenmat USA, we offer fire-rated solutions for LED downlights, in-ceiling loudspeakers, and both standard and oversized recessed can lights.
Popular for its ability to reduce energy use and its ease of installation, LED wafer lights have become a popular choice for hotel relighting renovations. Designed to be retrofitted into downlight wafer penetrations, Tenmat’s FF109-200 and FF109-250 Fire-Rated Covers are ideal for contractors. With its ease of installation, contractors can easily integrate these solutions without interrupting the space’s activity.
However, if you opt to just upgrade your current recessed can lights – TENMAT offers solutions for those applications as well. When upgrading standard or oversized recessed can lights, TENMAT’s FF109-300 series is able to reinstate the integrity of the fire-rated assembly.
Firestopping All Openings.
When reviewing your details, ensure that all penetration openings are properly fire-rated – no matter how small or irregular. From electrical wires to plumbing pipes, hospitality and retail projects also need to concern themselves with firestopping these openings as well. These openings may be very small in size, however, the threat of leaving these openings unprotected is massive.
To resolve these dangers, we offer a line of passive fire protection solutions – designed to fire-rate the utmost irregular, small openings. Composed of a flexible, intumescent membrane, Tenmat’s Fire Protection Plug is optimal for concentrated volume of through penetration openings. Its flexible and lightweight material is ideal for retrofitting installation, as well as new construction through solid floors or ceiling systems.
Here at Tenmat, we also address the smallest, irregular penetration openings.
The FF360 Fire Protection Foam offers a sag resistant, quick curing formulation. This allows for the foam to expand up to 5 times in volume during installation. Therefore, permitting the foam to be applied fast and effectively. In comparison, the FF365 Fire Protection Sealant properly fire rates irregular, hard-to-access, and small penetrations – leaving no opening not properly fire-rated.
