Insulated Curtain Wall Provides Enhanced Fire Resistance

Rite-Hite has introduced the Zoneworks TZF Insulated Curtain Wall, which offers enhanced flame resistance to the existing TZ series of insulated curtain wall products. The internal carbon fiber construction of the TZF Curtain Wall limits smoke and flame spread, meeting NFPA Class A standards.

Milwaukee, WI -- Rite-Hite has introduced the Zoneworks TZF Insulated Curtain Wall, which offers enhanced flame resistance to the existing TZ series of insulated curtain wall products. The internal carbon fiber construction of the TZF Curtain Wall limits smoke and flame spread, meeting NFPA Class A standards.

The Zoneworks TZF wall is intended for applications where temperature separation or control with some fire resistance is desired or required. It is not intended to be a replacement for a rigid fire wall. However, the complete curtain has been tested per ASTM E84 – the standard for smoke developed and flame spread properties. In testing, the TZF maintained a flame spread of 25 or less, and smoke developed less than 450, and thereby performs within the NFPA Class A rating.
