fire rating under SANS 53501-1 Cavitybatt™ and Cavitylite® achieve an A1

Fire hazards are a serious concern in South Africa, made worse using flammable building materials and a lack of effective fire prevention measures. Cavitybatt™ and Cavitylite® insulation recently achieved an A1 fire rating under the updated South African National Standards (SANS) 53501-1 standards.

The A1 fire rating means that these insulators, produced from glass wool, meet the requirements for non-combustible materials and making them reliable choices for construction industry professionals to consider in their projects.

They do not emit smoke when exposed to flames, do not aid in the spread of fire and provide the insulation and comfort that building occupants need without compromising on safety.

Both Cavitybatt™ and Cavitylite® are equally high-performing in fire safety – the only difference between the two lies in the installation process, giving contractors, engineers and builders a choice for their specific project needs.

So, join the building professionals who are choosing Cavitybatt™ and Cavitylite® for regulation-compliant, easy-to-install insulation solutions backed by Saint-Gobain’s investment in safe, high-quality products that meet SANS requirements.

Whatever your project – whether working with steel or timber frame construction – with Cavitybatt™ and Cavitylite® you’ll benefit from safer thermal insulation designed to reduce energy costs and enhance indoor comfort.
