The challenges
Hotels are complex buildings with high occupancy loads and so a lot of different requirements when it comes to fire protection:
- Design the correct type of fire protection system, in accordance with relevant legislation and standards.
- Design effective compartmentation to help preserve the stability of the building’s structure in the event of a fire and allow enough time for the safe evacuation of its occupants.
- Consider Budget, space and weight and time constraints.
The solutions
Designing the correct type of Fire Protection for Hotels can have significant space, weight and cost savings. Our involvement with the Double Tree Hilton Project in Northbridge Western Australia has highlighted PROMATECT 100’s versatility as an internal fire wall system for Hotels.
PROMATECT® 100 was specified as 2-hour fire rated wall for an area of approximately 18,000 m2.
The project architects relied on PROMATECT® 100 fire walls for the following reasons:
PROMATECT® 100 provides excellent acoustic properties and was used to fit out the 17 level Hotel in Northbridge for all of the internal walls. Progressive Materials was involved in project specification, and site support during construction.
This project also featured the supply of our Promat System Floor for fire separation between levels, as well as a wide selection of fire stopping products from our range.
