COMPARATIVE STUDY OF EDGE OF SLAB FIRESTOP SYSTEMS PERFORMANCE UNDER REAL FIRE SCENARIOCOMPARATIVE STUDY OF EDGE OF SLAB FIRESTOP SYSTEMS PERFORMANCE UNDER REAL FIRE SCENARIO
Specially tailored for Façade consultants, Contractors, PMC, Architects and for Developers. Use of curtain walls in tall buildings have become the new normal in the modern architecture. This is because it can be constructed from much lighter materials like glass, which allows for the filtration of natural light into the building and prevent air and moisture from entering the building. However, in the recent past, we have witnessed a number of fires in the buildings involving curtain wall system, leading to loss of life and property and this can be attributed to the lack of understanding of fire protection system that needs to be used in conjunction with the evolving construction technology. In view of the above, Hilti India has planned for a webinar in association with IIT-Gandhinagar to spread awareness on importance of using the right ‘Tested and Listed’ curtain wall firestop system.
