Open timber cladding is exceptionally popular today among architects and construction professionals. The clean rhythm, the natural look and the architectural freedom make open-joint profiles a much-sought-after solution for contemporary façades. At the same time, the requirements around reaction to fire are becoming ever stricter, certainly for projects where reaction-to-fire class B is required.
Until recently, this often meant that compromises were needed. Those who chose open timber cladding with reaction-to-fire class B usually had to accept visible fixing. Thanks to Pyroclip, Carpentier is now taking a new step forward: open timber cladding with reaction-to-fire class B and invisible fixing. An absolute first in timber cladding!
The QuickClip® profiles Fine line, Plus line and Cubus in HOTwood pine are available with fire certification and, provided they receive a fire-retardant treatment and are installed with Pyroclip, can meet reaction-to-fire class B-s2,d0.
This makes these profiles a solution for projects where reaction-to-fire class B is required, without compromising on architectural freedom. The open joints create a refined rhythm in the façade, while the invisible fixing ensures a clean and uniform result with no visible screws or nails. At the same time, the warm look of thermo pine is preserved and the Grad® mounting system ensures quick installation.
With Pyroclip, Carpentier once again confirms its role as an innovative partner in timber cladding. This certified solution brings together technical performance, sustainability and design in a single façade system for projects where reaction-to-fire class B is required.
