Fire insulation
Find fire insulation for all needs at Eristys-Toimi Oy!
In a fire situation, the building frame and building materials are put to the test. Even steel bends and concrete deteriorates at high enough temperatures. When the critical temperature of the load-bearing frame material is exceeded, the entire building is at risk. All structures need additional time – a fire-protective layer that ensures sufficient strength retention as temperatures rise. Proper fire protection prevents property destruction and saves lives.

Paroc is an insulation expert known for fire-safe insulation solutions. Our goal is to make every building as safe and durable as possible, regardless of materials and structures, and that’s why we want to share our expertise with designers. Over the years, we have gathered a vast amount of tested information on the performance of structures in fire situations, which we want to share with customers. That’s why we have written fire protection guides, where all the necessary information, calculations, and tables are easily and conveniently available, all under one cover.

Fire insulation for wooden structures
Although wood is classified as a flammable material, a properly designed wood structure can withstand fires relatively well. Light wooden structures can easily get sufficient protection from mineral wool thermal insulation and normal internal sheet layers.

Fire insulation for concrete structures
Although concrete is a non-combustible material, the fire resistance of a concrete structure depends on many different factors. The fire resistance of structures can be increased by protecting the concrete reinforcements with mineral wool.

Fire insulation for steel structures
All steel materials lose their strength when heated, regardless of the quality of the steel. The most practical way to limit the temperature rise of steel is to insulate it from fire. In our fire protection guide, you will find instructions for various possibilities for steel fire protection. ERISTYS-TOIMI OY stocks FPS170 20 mm, 30 mm, and 50 mm boards and sells all Paroc insulation materials.
