Group 2 Fire Performance

A Group 2 fire performance classification means that the product can be used in most areas of buildings apart from fire-isolated exits and fire control rooms, and some un-sprinklered corridors, and can therefore be used to demonstrate compliance to the NCC fire performance requirements in warehouses and commercial or industrial sheds where conventional internal wall or ceiling linings are not applied.

Roof Insulation

The roof insulation installed over the purlins shall be classified as Group 2 in accordance with NCC fire classification for wall and ceiling linings and shall be Kingspan AIR-CELL Insuliner fibre-free, thermo reflective insulation, comprising a cross-linked, closed-cell foam core sandwiched with an anti-glare foil facing on one side and a plain foil facing on the other side manufactured by Kingspan Insulation, and shall be installed in accordance with the instructions issued by them.

1. Lay Kingspan AIR-CELL Insuliner perpendicular to purlins ensuring a 50 mm overlap into the gutter.

2. Allow a nominal 40 mm sag between purlins. If mesh is used, ensure that the mesh is installed loosely to allow for this sag.

3. Overlap by 50 mm at joins and apply 72 to 100 mm reinforced foil tape to top of join. Alternatively allow 150 mm overlap when joins are not to be taped.

4. End joins should be overlapped by 600 mm if not taped.

5. Fix roof sheeting by screwing through Kingspan AIR-CELL Insuliner to the purlins

Wall Insulation

The wall insulation fixed to outside of the girts shall be classified as Group 2 in accordance with NCC fire classification for wall and ceiling linings and shall be Kingspan AIR-CELL Insuliner fibre-free, thermo reflective insulation, comprising a cross-linked, closed-cell foam core sandwiched with an anti-glare foil facing on one side and a plain foil facing on the other side manufactured by Kingspan Insulation, and shall be installed in accordance with the instructions issued by them.

1. Fix Kingspan AIR-CELL Insuliner loosely to the outside of the frame leaving flexibility for the insulation to be dished between the frame members.

2. Cut Kingspan AIR-CELL Insuliner carefully around the windows, doors and other openings, so that it neatly abuts to the frame.

3. For neatest finish, butt join sheets, alternatively overlap by 50 mm and tape with 72 mm wide reinforced foil tape.

4. Provide an outer air space by adhering the Kingspan AIR-CELL Spacer Biscuits to the outer face of the Kingspan AIR-CELL Insuliner (approximately three Biscuits per square meter are required).

5. Fix outer cladding.
