John Brash (www.JohnBrash.co.uk), the UK’s leading manufacturer of graded timber scaffold boards, roofing battens, shingles & shakes, and commercial anti-slip decking; launches ‘JB FireSafe’ into their scaffold board product range.
JB FireSafe is a new breed of fire retardant scaffold board, manufactured and treated on-site, having been specifically developed to meet the increasing demand for fire retardant treatments across multiple sectors, including high-risk environments such as London Underground, or on and off-shore oil and gas plants among others.
These new facilities see John Brash become the first, and only, European manufacturer of timber scaffold boards to install a dedicated, state of the art on-site fire retardant treatment facility.
JB FireSafe will be treated under a vacuum pressure impregnation system with Osmose FirePRO, recognised by the industry as the optimal treatment of timber scaffold boards. With its high technical specification, Osmose FirePRO is approved by London Underground, among others, as having appropriate fire retardancy for use in all their construction and maintenance projects.
Critically JB FireSafe Scaffold Boards, as well as being graded to BS2482:2009, use a WPA ‘HR Approved & Listed’ product. This ensures the treatment is optimal for the scaffold board. Some treatments can be hygroscopic and quickly effervesce, leaching out and reducing the fire retardant properties.
Christian Brash says, “As one of the UK’s principal manufacturers of scaffold boards, we have built a fantastic reputation and the John Brash scaffold boards are now recognised as the premier board on the market. Our new facilities mean that we can now be certain to stay at the forefront of fire treatment technology, as well as maintaining ultimate quality control, passing numerous benefits directly on to our clients. Not all fire retardant treatments are the same, and we’re thrilled to now be able to offer the optimal treatment to our clients through JB FireSafe.”
JB FireSafe offers:
- Reduced lead time due to a shorter supply chain
- Streamlined logistics and costs
- Treatment to Euroclass ‘B’ or ‘C’ (equivalent to BS476 Class 0 or 1)
