WHITEFRIARS HA CHOOSES REHAU’S FIRE RATED PVC-U SOLUTION FROM ASTRASEAL

REHAU’s RAUFERNO fire rated PVC-U system has helped commercial fabricator Astraseal win a screen replacement contract for Whitefriars Housing Association in Coventry, part of WM Housing Group.

The HA’s property services department wanted to replace single glazed timber screens in 13 blocks of maisonettes with a low maintenance, thermally efficient PVC-U alternative, but decided to increase the specification to include fire resistance in order to maximise the safety of the residents. 

The REHAU RAUFERNO solution was the only fire-rated PVC-U product which met this specification. In total, 52 screens have now been installed, measuring an average of 2.5m² each. 

Astraseal has been accredited by REHAU to fabricate and install its patented RAUFERNO system since 2008.  Based on the REHAU TOTAL70C 70mm window profile, RAUFERNO incorporates an intumescent material which enables it to satisfy the fire safety requirements of BS476 Parts 20 and 22 and the 1992 Building Regulations.

It is FIRAS approved and fully certified by the Warrington Fire Research Centre.
