WESTERMANN: Fire Prevention and Safety

The majority of designers, architects and developers are clear about fire prevention and safety: as safe as necessary and as nice as possible. All current safety and fire prevention requirements have to be met but at the same time the visual experience has to convince.

Over the years, WESTERMANN has provided a variety of clients with interior design projects, which both satisfy legal requirements for fire prevention and safety aspects and achieve the creative ambition.

Outstanding
fire prevention
and safety solutions

All elements and furniture, that we produce and install in our fire prevention and safety relevant interior design projects, are the result of outstanding engineering, innovative construction methods and the use of first class materials. Along with a minority of others, WESTERMANN has invested in the latest machinery for the production, processing and finishing of non-flammable and flame retardant materials, e.g.:

Highly flame retardant
materials class B1
Wooden materials in composite,
elements to class A2
Gypsum fibreboard
materials, class A1
Metals, sheet metals, aluminium
Solid wood
Glass

To ensure complete safety, we regularly commission independent firms to check and certify our production processes. When necessary, we also work with leading producers of fire doors and other safety relevant building elements, in order to offer optimal solutions in combination with our own products. Our portfolio includes, among others, the following products and elements:

Wall and ceiling claddings
Ceiling sails, baffles
Modular office partitions
Fire doors
Fire protection glazing
Fall protection glazing
Running amok safety
Access control
Locking systems
Handicapped accessible solutions
Non-flammable furniture
in escape routes

WESTERMANN has years of experience in the implementation of fire prevention concepts and ensures that all legal requirements and creative objectives are properly incorporated.
