the expert in fire-resistant walls
Are you looking for fire-resistant walls? To secure an entire building, perhaps, or to provide certain rooms within a building with additional protection against fire? Then you need look no further than aalbers|wico - the specialist in structural fire security.
We manufacture, supply and install fire-resistant walls precisely in accordance with your specifications. If you wish, they can also be offered in combination with intruder-, ballistic- and blast-resistant properties.
tested in practice
The resistance value of our walls has not only been calculated on paper – it has been tested in practice too. At our own test centre we can see how our walls stand up to the toughest of conditions. We make use of a fire test furnace for this.
standards
Our walls are based on the standards NEN 6075, 6068 as well as 6069, and EN 1634, 1364, 13501 and 15269, but we can also go one step further. If stipulated in the Schedule of Requirements, we can supply a wall offering the actual level of resistance you need. The official standards form the starting point here, but the wall undergoes further testing on the basis of additional criteria.

testing methods
We test the fire resistance of all our walls in our own test centre in accordance with the methods described in the applicable standards NEN 6069 and EN 1634. This is made possible with the help of facilities including a test furnace.

resistance classes
The resistance class of fire-resistant walls is broadly defined on the basis of two factors: the function of the wall (e.g. supporting, separating, insulating, etc.) and the length of time for which the wall is able to maintain this function when exposed to fire.
