Breakthrough for beams
According to Fabsec, its fire-engineered long span cellular beams meet the highest performance standards for two hours fire resistance.
The beams incorporate a new paint technology which reduces the paint thickness required, cutting the cost of producing fire-engineered beams. Off-site application of the intumescent coating speeds up construction, while the coating can accept a coloured top coat.
Flexibility of use is achieved thanks to the shape and positioning of web openings in the beams, features that can help reduce the overall weight and height of a steel structure, and enable the use of exposed steelwork.

Available in two finishes, either plastosol or stainless steel, Fabdec has introduced a new unvented water heater range, the Excelsior. Available in cylinder sizes ranging from 80 to 305 litres, the mains-fed heaters deliver constant water to a maximum of 3 bar - regardless of other appliances in use. As hot and cold water comes directly from the mains, the Excelsior can be sited in any location on any floor of a building, subject to available pipe work.This product appeared in Building Products more than 12 months ago.

Fire-engineered cellular steel beams designed using Fabsec's FBEAM³.1 software incorporate the most extensive fire testing conducted in the UK, the company claims. Beams designed using the software are long-span fabricated steel beams with an intumescent coating to achieve 2hr. fire resistance. Beams can also be optimised using Beam Wizard, which automatically compares multiple beam designs to determine the most economical combination of steel section and coating thickness. The intumescent coating used on the beams is Firetex FB120, developed by Leigh's Paints. Application is undertaken off-site, taking a wet trade off-site.This product appeared in Building Products more than 12 months ago. Please contact Fabsec directly for further details.
