Tenmat leads the market in compliance and number of certified applications by testing FF109 fire hoods in the most fully-loaded floor construction types.
According to NHBC Technical Guidance 6.4/10, many buildings are not signed off when the fitted fire-rated downlights lack the correct fire test data. Tenmat FF109 fire hoods solve this.
The quick and easy fitting of Tenmat fire hoods over non-compliant downlights is cost-effective, and then regains compliance. Tenmat’s full-scale, fully-loaded fire test data includes fire hoods over I-beam and metal web joist ceilings. FF109 fire hoods have the most comprehensive fire resistance test data across all engineered floor joist constructions. Further UKAS-approved assessments enable many other types of I-joist and composite joist types.
The FF109 downlight fire hood is the only product on the market successfully tested alongside other ceiling penetrations such as ceiling air valves and fans. FF109 fire hoods offer the required fire-resistance for most lightweight joist constructions, both for 30-minute rated and 60-minute rated constructions.
