Fire Enclosures 2.jpg

Kingsley Plastics have, over the past 30 years of manufacture, developed a range of GRP housings & Kiosks that will withstand fire penetration in excess of 2 hours where required.

Fully tested for surface spread of flame & fire penetration to BS 476 parts 6, 7 & 12 plus inadition to BS476 Part 20 & 21 for 1 Hour. Kingsley Plastics are the only GRP Company within the UK to have tested, and fully passed a 60 minute fire test upon a panel for load bearing structures such as walls of which are supporting such items as inherent GRP Roofs and other panels.

No other GRP Kiosk manufacturing company has achieved a certified approval for BS 476 Part 21 for load bearing structures as used in our Anti-Vandal construction and in turn, confirms Kingsley's role as the lead company amongst the UK's GRP manufacturers.

The fire properties of GRP panels have been constantly changing over the last 30 years of manufacture and having a close working relationship with the major manufacturers keeps Kingsley Plastics at the forefront of fire safe and fireproof GRP manufacture & installations.

With many years timed experienced in the design, supply and installation of firewalls and enclosures in all manner of buildings both within and outside of the Water, Rail, Telecom, Gas & Electrical industries.

Many different types of insulation can be provided to maintain the fire integrity of the walls & roofs and we will discuss all possibilities with yourselves during the design stage. Once your full specification/requirements have been established we will offer you fully detailed auto-cad drawings for your approval, prior to the manufacturing process commences.

All of our fire protected housings can include the following options:

Single & double entry fire proof doors
Integral non-slip floors
Vents, grills and access hatches/panels
Complete choice of external finishes
Full design, manufacture & installation packages
30 minute, 60 minute & 120 minute options available

Please note:

When requesting fire rated housings & panels, please advise as to whether the wall/panel is for internal use (BS 476 Part 22) or external use, therefore a load bearing structure (BS476 Part 21).

Certification to BS476 Part 22 is only tested upon a 1mtr2 panel and is not designed to represent an external GRP housing wall supporting its own roof. BS476 Part 21 is a complete fire test for GRP Walls that will be supporting a roof or any other structure. The test itself is performed under 'stress' thus replicating the effects of a fire to an external GRP Housing wall under such conditions that may include snow & rain fall loads, as well as other structures/persons weight being added to the load of each wall on fire.
