Effective fire performance

The fire characteristics of interior ceiling and wall cladding have a major impact on how a fire develops. During evacuation, it is important that temperature, smoke concentration, heat radiation and other factors do not prevent people inside the building from reaching safety or or increase the risk of the firefighters' intervention options.

Troldtekt panels are made from certified wood, and cement extracted from Danish mineral resources. Wood is an organic and flammable material, but every single wood fibre in a Troldtekt panel is encapsulated and protected by non-flammable cement. Troldtekt panels therefore have low flammability and only emit low heat during a fire, and almost no smoke. 

Group Number Classification - Fire test

The Troldtekt products are locally tested in accordance with ISO 5660 by BRANZ. This is in accordance with the New Zealand Building Code (NZBC) and National Construction Code of Australia(NCC).

See the fire test documentation

 

European CE marking

In the EU it is mandatory to CE-mark products that are covered by a European harmonised standard or European technical approval.

Troldtekt is CE-marked in accordance with the European standard for cement-bonded wood wool, EN 13168 – Thermal insulation products for buildings – Factory made wood wool (WW) products as well as the European standard for suspended ceilings, EN 13964.

Read more about CE-marking and the Construction Products Regulation (CPR).

Thus, in accordance to these standards, these Troldtekt products are tested and classified for reaction to fire in accordance with EN 13501:

  • The reaction to fire classification for Troldtekt acoustic panels is B-s1,d0.

  • The reaction to fire classification for Troldtekt design panels is B-s1,d0.

 

Reaction to fire classification B-s1,d0 and A2-s1,d0

B and A2, respectively, denote the extent to which the material contributes to fire, it’s reaction to fire behaviour. The classification ranges from A1 (non-combustible, no organic and/or combustible components) to F. An F, however, means that the panel has not been tested and are not be sold and used for ceiling cladding. The additional classification in relation to smoke production ranges from s1 as the best to s3 as the worst. And finally, the additional classification in relation to flaming droplets/particles ranges from d0 as the best and down to d2. Together these classifications constitute the “reaction to fire” classification.

Good acoustics

An important part of a good and healthy indoor climate is efficient sound absorption. It is an important factor in schools, kindergartens, sports centres and work places where the noise level can be considerable.

Documented sustainability initiatives

Throughout the product cycle, Troldtekt places emphasis not only on minimizing the environmental impact, but on optimizing resource consumption and processes.

Robust and durable

Troldtekt wood wool acoustic panels are suitable for use in wet rooms and sports halls. The panels can absorb and release moisture and are ball impact tested.

Easy installation

There are a number of simple methods for installing Troldtekt on wood battens or in profiles. The panels are easy to maintain, which ensures a long service life.

Healthy indoor climate

Most people spend most of their lives indoors, and much of this time is spent at work. It is therefore vital that the buildings we are in have a good indoor climate which does not cause irritations or affect our health or ability to work.
