Tecbor® Boards - Curtain Walls
The DB SI in its section concerning external propagation, indicates that in order to limitate the risk of vertical propagation through the façade between two fire sectors, between a particularly high risk area and other higher zones
in the building, or towards a protected staircase or protected corridor, this façade shall be at least EI-60 in a belt with height of not less than 1 metre.
Catastrophes affecting high-rises have shown the importance of protecting and anchoring joints between both slabs and facades. Otherwise, existing holes between curtain walls and light facades can work as true chimneys in case of fire causing flames and smoke to get out of control propagating into higher areas in the building, and thus hampering an orderly evacuation procedure.
The manifold and various configurations of facades make it difficult to decide on the most appropriate protection. Therefore, do not hesitate to contact our Sales Department for assistance.

SOLUTION
1. Tecbor® 20 mm boards. |
Description of Assembly
Attach the 70 x 70 x 1 mm angle lengthwise along the Tecbor® 20 mm Board using 3.5 x 45 mm self-tapping screws roughly every 250-300 mm. Attach the flush angle to the edge of the slab with a 10 x 100 mm plug approximately every 250-300 mm.
Next, fix a Tecbor® 20 mm cover, 200-250 mm wide, to the lower part of the slab using a 10 x 100 mm plug.
Tecbor® 20 mm joint covers (200-250 mm wide) are fixed to the lower joints of the curtain wall using 3.5 x 45 mm self-tapping screws.
Then apply Tecbor® Joint Paste to the board joints and screw heads.
