FIRE SAFETY & LIVING WALLS
Sempergreen says its SemperGreenwall is the first living wall
system on the market with fire safety certificate A2.
Sempergreen has announced
that its living wall system
SemperGreenwall has been
awarded the fire safety certificate
A2-s2-d0.
The company says this fire class is
often mandatory in high-rise projects
and its living wall system already had
the B-s2-d0 certificate.
This means that it was already
suitable for project-based
applications, including use on escape
routes. With the addition of the
A2-s2-d0 certificate, the company
says its SemperGreenwall now also
offers a fire safe solution for highrise
projects. This, it says, makes the
SemperGreenwall the first living wall
system on the market to meet these
very strict fire safety requirements.
Innovative Flexipanel A2 resists fire and
heavy wind loads
A SemperGreenwall is a modular living
wall system built from pre-cultivated
Flexipanels. These panels are extremely
flexible, making the system also
applicable to curved surfaces or corner
solutions. In order to meet the strict
safety requirements that often apply
to high-rise projects, Sempergreen
says the standard Flexipanel has been
further developed into the innovative
Flexipanel A2. Sempergreen says this
new Flexipanel is not only resistant
to fire, but also to other extreme
conditions, such as heavy wind loads.
Tested for flashover and combustion
values
As Sempergreen points out, the
potential risks posed by fire in high-rise
buildings are very high and as such,
the building requirements for high-rise
projects are therefore extremely strict.
In order to obtain the A2-s2-d0 fire
safety certificate, Sempergreen says its
Flexipanel A2 has been subjected to the
following tests carried out by Fire Safety
Expert Efectis.
These tests included combustion values
