2.0 INTRODUCTION
The Metal Air Brick (MAB) range of products addresses fire
safety regulations in high-rise buildings with a storey at least 18m
above ground level to Regulation 7(2) and Building Regulations,
Approved Document B.
In Scotland this height has been lowered to a storey more than
11m above ground level in accordance with Building (Scotland)
technical handbook 2019: domestic and non-domestic, Section
2.7.
The building regulation 7(2) requires any materials used for
the external wall, or attachments to the wall, have at least a
classification ' A 2 - s1, d0' to BS EN 13501-1 to reduce the risk of fire
spread over the wall.
The metal air brick range of products meet this fire class
requirement. With the base material being considered fire class
' A 1' without the need for testing as per 96/603/EC European
Commission directive "materials to be considered as reaction to
fire Class A without the need for testing".
All air bricks are available in a variety of powder coated RAL
colours to maintain the external appearance of the building. All
powder coated options are fire class ' A 2 - s1, d0' to BS EN 13501-1.
It is strongly recommended this product be considered in any
building design with a storey 11m (or above) ground level. Even if
the building regulation states 'at least 18m'.
