TBA Firefly enters the cladding market by introducing solid aluminium facade panels

TBA Firefly has entered the cladding market by introducing their solid aluminium facade panels. The new aluminium solid panels (ASP) are reckoned to match up to non-combustible requirements, and certified to AS1530.1 & AS1530.3. 

The fresh facade cladding panels come from TBA Firefly, a firm that has been specialising in fire protection products for over 130 years.

 TBA Firefly is a division of TBA Textiles, a manufacturer of fire-resistant textiles and products for more than 130 years in Rochdale, UK and also servicing the Australian market for the past 60 years.

TBA Firefly’s non-combustible ancillary products have largely been used behind the facade panels of other manufacturers. The company has now tested and released its panels.

TBA Firefly fully DTS facade products:

• TBA Firefly Non-combustible Aluminium Solid Panel (ASP)
• TBA Firefly Non-combustible Sarking
• TBA Firefly Non-combustible R0.2 Vulcan Thermal Break
• TBA Firefly Non-combustible Fortaglas Backing Rod
• TBA Firefly intumescent cavity barriers

Alternatively, TBA Firefly is ready to deliver intumescent cavity barriers. As a fire protection solution, intumescent barriers must combust to enable them to react and fully close off the cavity to the passage of hot gases, heat and flame from one level to the next.

These intumescent cavity barriers were used along with some of TBA Firefly’s other products in four full-scale AS5113 facade tests, passing and achieving an EW Classification.
