AT A GLANCE
- CSIRO NATA Labs certified. Fire Certificates of BCA compliance.
- K-Clad 10mm sheet will hold fire for 90 minutes at 1000 deg C FRL 90/90/90 load bearing LIGHT GAUGE FRAME 1.15BMT 55kN and FRL 90/90/90 on a TIMBER double stud discontinuous acoustic Rw 62 provision in a fire separation intertenancy or party wall.
- The extra space from thinner walls helps ROI in projects and at least 50% less labour site handling installation, crane up and transport weight cost.
- K-Clad is a virtual carbon neutral product which unlike plasterboard, does not destroy millions of oxygen generating CO2 absorbing trees to make the paper linings of CSR, Gyprock, Fyrchek and similar outmoded products.
- K-Clad has recessed edges for internal plaster setting which is just as easy.
Not only is FireCrunch highly fire rated and tested for fire resistance, it is also water resistant where it does not degrade in water, high impact proof, termite, sound, mould and bacteria resistant. These are all important factors that need to be taken into consideration in construction.
FIRE RESISTANT CLADDING
K-Clad by FireCrunch withstands tested temperatures of up to 1200⁰C and meets the BAL FZ, (Bushfire Attack Level Flame Zone) and four times higher to FRL 90/90/90 which makes FIRECRUNCH the leading solution for sustainable, hard wearing, zero maintenance, cladding in commercial residential and industrial construction applications to FRL 120/120/120 minutes 2 hours and more, with a serious total capability or saving homes in firestorms. See certifications.
Your structure will not burn down in a fire storm attack or wild fire attack when correctly clad with roof linings ceilings floors and exterior walls using FireCrunch.
FireCrunch products are designed to withstand Australia’s many severe climatic conditions and reinforce a high concern for safety and protection. Whether it is a residential or commercial property, FireCrunch will ensure the longevity and durability of your next construction project.
SAVINGS IN FIRE WALL THICKNESS AND PRODUCT
Our K-Clad exterior lining and facades board in 10mm can be used on each side of a single 90 x 45mm stud frame or wider 64mm x 2 or 76mm x 2 double stud fire wall steel or timber frame, dependent on the FRL required up to FRL 90/90/90 . FireCrunch K-Clad requires only one single 10mm sheet on each side of steel or timber frames compared to multiple layers of plasterboard.
EASIER, FASTER INSTALLATION
Regular timber tools can be used to install FireCrunch K-Clad and no time consuming pre-drilling is required. FireCrunch K-Clad provides extensive protection and additional bracing integrity and structural integrity MgO to timber and steel framing when clad with FCA in fire and flood conditions, once pre sealed with recommended products in weather and water sealing.
FireCrunch K-Clad is a high impact resistant product which is quick and easy to install, significantly reducing labour costs up to 70%, versus fire rated plasterboard where only 1 x 10mm sheet is required instead of up to 3 layers of 13mm or 2 layers of 16mm Fyrchek and similar low capability fire rated plasterboard products.
The ease of use allows for a faster, cost-efficient construction process from small building all the way up to large construction projects.
TERMITE PROOF CLADDING
FireCrunch is of no interest to termites (who cannot live on or near it), therefore it enables total termite protection for timber framing in homes which otherwise can be a very costly and unhealthy experience for homeowners.
BACTERIA PROOF BUILDING PRODUCT
Bacteria cannot live on FireCrunch FCA magnesium oxide MgO, MgSO4, thereby improving health in wet areas at home and ideal for schools and hospitals, 10 times stronger than so called flood resistant plasterboard and fire resistant plasterboard, FireCrunch, fireproof building materials are stronger, less damage and ensure super hygiene.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY CLADDING
FireCrunch K-Clad differs from outdated high CO2 pollutive, weak, so called water resistant plasterboard and fire resistant plasterboard like Fyrchek and similar plasterboards due to the multi-beneficial aspects of FireCrunch products. No trees are lost to make this planet-friendly, low CO2 building low carbon footprint building product. FireCrunch is designed for safety and cost-effective building, convenience and adhering to the highest Australian (BCA) standards.
