Stuart Devoil James Latham’s Group Head of Marketing explained,
“Our new FR Flexi-Ply has already been a big hit with customers. In fact, the first load sold out before we could even advertise it! As well as being fully tested and third party certified with a Class B EN13501 fire rating, it offers designers exceptional flexibility and performance as it can easily be bent to all kinds of intricate shapes and radii, delivering a highly cost-effective and time saving solution.
“As well as the obvious risk to safety of occupants, fire damage in buildings can be devastating and as a result, fire-retardant products are increasingly being specified to help reduce this impact. In particular, when it comes to high-footfall public areas such as retail premises, exhibition centres, concert venues, stadia, cinemas, theatres, hotels etc as well as schools, offices and hospitals, fire retardant materials are essential.”
