Les murs Faswall® ne peuvent pas supporter un incendie et il n'y a pas de dégagement de fumée toxique des murs Faswall® lors d'un incendie.
No Material makes a “Fire-Proof Home”, but Faswall Walls come close. A home of one of our builders sustained an internal fire, which destroyed the inside belongings. But the wall system endured, making it possible to rebuild with the original Faswall® walls intact.
4 hours with zero flame spread and no smoke development (ASTM C-119-88, E-84-89a; test done without insulation inserts)
In this (not so scientific) test John took a propane torch and held the flame directly against a Faswall block for two minutes. The direct heat burned a tiny hole in the block, and made the insulating insert in the block smoke a little bit, but it didn’t catch on fire.
"This is obviously a hell of a lot more heat than any forest fire is going to deliver."
At the end of the test, John was able to lay his hand on top of the block because it had barely gotten warm. He placed his Faswall order soon thereafter to build in New Mexico.
Faswall building blocks, made from a blend of wood and concrete, offer excellent fire and water resistance. They have a 4-hour fire rating, demonstrated by a test where a propane torch applied directly to a block for two minutes caused minimal damage and heat transfer. Additionally, a 10-year submersion test showed the blocks have high water resistance with little to no deterioration. These properties, combined with their pest resistance and eco-friendly composition, make Faswall a durable and sustainable building material suitable for various structures.
