01/01/2021 SAFE PLACES WITH FIRE RESISTANT PRODUCTS It is necessary to take global measures for fire disasters that are thought to be based on the climate crisis and that we encounter in many parts of the world, especially in summer. The average temperature rises due to the greenhouse effect created by the gases produced by industrial and agricultural activities, and this threatens our planet, which is our home. Unfortunately, in this process, which we call climate change or global warming, warnings are made from scientific circles that fire disasters are inevitable in many parts of the world.What can we do?It is important that each of us, as individuals who make up the society with the motto "There is no Planet B", should feel responsible for the future of our planet. One of the measures we can take on our behalf in order to extinguish the fires that threaten the settlements or to overcome these disasters with minimum damage is the use of non-combustible materials. In buildings where fire resistant systems are preferred, it is possible to evacuate fire areas in a short time and to ensure life safety by being protected from toxic gases, flames, high heat and smoke.We, as the Aspen family, are trying to make order on ourselves. With our Clip-in Heavy Duty and Perspekta C Bandraster metal suspended ceiling products with A2s1d0 class certificate, we increase the safety standards in interior building elements by increasing the response time to 45 minutes in case of fire. Because in buildings where fire resistant systems are preferred, it is possible to evacuate fire areas in a short time and to ensure life safety by being protected from toxic gases, flames, high heat and smoke.In which structures can our fire resistant metal ceiling systems be used?As Aspen, our fire resistant (Integra) Metal Suspended Ceiling and Wall products are preferred in many projects in Turkey and abroad. Some of these structures are hotels, hospitals, hotels, shopping centers, schools and airports.The aesthetic value of the architectural space is as important as its safety or function. The aesthetic value of architectural spaces with which individuals are directly related is not a luxury but a necessity. Walls and ceilings, which are two of the basic elements that make up the spaces, are also expected to be of aesthetic quality. As the Aspen family, we are happy to add aesthetic value to the spaces with the color and design options in the suspended ceiling and wall elements we produce. Read More
