Intumescent Fire Grille

Intumescent fire grilles are constructed with a rust preventative zintec coated steel frame containing slats encasing strips of graphite based intumescent material.

The purpose of the Intumescent Fire Grille is to allow ventilation while maintain each individual compartments fire rating.

The intumescent material reacts when in contact with fire to expand and fill the area inside the grille, cutting off oxygen from the fire and acting as a barrier to prevent the spread of fire.

They are often installed in doors, walls and partitions.

What Is Intumescent?

An intumescent is a substance that swells as a result of heat exposure, thus increasing in volume and decreasing in density. Intumescents are typically used in passive fire protection .
