CA Group Limited’s MatriX Spacer System, incorporating
the fully re-designed MatriX Bracket with FireWall option, has been granted CE
Certification in accordance with European Technical Approval ETA 07456.
Designed, developed and fully tested in-house by CA
Group’s team of engineers, the spacer system, when installed as part of a
Twin-Therm or River-Therm built-up roof or wall system, is capable of achieving
a market leading 240 minutes of structural integrity, as well as 120 minutes of
insulation integrity, in the event of a fire.
Mark Wiper, Technical Engineering Manager, explained:
“The MatriX Spacer System, which is sold as standard, raises the bar,
delivering a solution unlike any other available on the market today.
"The product is an excellent example of the
company’s commitment to fire prevention and its focus on innovation. We are
delighted to have been granted CE Certification. We strive for excellence in
everything we do and this achievement recognises the product as a market leader
in its field.”
The MatriX Spacer System, when fully installed, has
been subject to rigorous testing by a number of external test houses
including:
- Lucideon,
Stoke, for structural performance testing
- Exova
Warringtonfire, for resistance to fire testing
- Sound
Research Labs, Suffolk, for acoustics.
Furthermore, the product has also received
certification from LPCB (LPS 1181 and LPS 1208 - Reaction to Fire &
Compartmentation) and is an integral component of CA Group’s Agrément approvals
for Twin-Therm and River-Therm roof and wall applications.
In addition to its compatibility with Twin-Therm® and River-Therm®, MatriX is also appropriate for use
in other systems from CA Building Products, such as SolarWall and Prime Rainscreen.
