Euro Class B Fire-Treated Timber Cladding
At Timber Focus Ltd, our dedication to safety is showcased through our extensive range of timber cladding products, meticulously treated to achieve Euro Class B certification. This classification, established under the BS EN 13501-1 standard, represents a high level of fire performance, ensuring that our treated timber cladding meets rigorous safety standards. This makes our products the preferred choice for projects where fire safety is paramount.
Understanding the Euro Class B Classification
In the UK and across EU member states, a unified classification system is in place to assess the Reaction to Fire performance of construction materials. The Euro Class system, defined under EN 13501-1, categorizes construction products into seven Reaction to Fire classes: A1, A2, B, C, D, E, and F. For wood or wood-based products used in wall and ceiling constructions or external cladding, the Euro Class B rating indicates a high degree of fire resistance.
Moreover, the classification system also considers a product’s smoke production and the release of flaming droplets or particles—critical factors for combustible materials like timber. Smoke intensity is categorized into three levels: s1, s2, and s3, with s1 being the best. Similarly, burning droplets or particles are classified into three levels: d0, d1, and d2, with d0 being the best.
At Timber Focus Ltd, all our treated timber species proudly achieve a Euroclass rating of B,s1-d0, representing optimal fire safety performance in terms of both smoke production and burning droplets.
