The Medium-Duty 7500 Series is available in single, duct and multi-part configurations, all of which are certified for two hours on integrity and one hour for insulation. The 7500 Series is available in a range of sizes, from 900mmx900mm as a single cover, right through to 4m x 3m as a multi-part cover.
The Heavy-Duty 1050 Series is constructed of stainless steel and is also available in single, duct and multi-part configurations. The single cover and duct run specifications are fire rated for two hours on integrity and two hours for insulation, whilst the multi-part cover, which is available up to 4m x 3m, is fire rated for two hours on integrity and one hour for insulation.
Specified for high-profile infrastructure and construction projects across a range of industries, Howe Green’s innovative Floor Access Covers offer unrivalled levels of certification, performance and ease of installation.
Supplied with comprehensive test certification, the Floor Access Covers support professionals in not only achieving constant compliance, but provide a trial of due diligence, if and when required. Tested to BS 476 – Part 22 for integrity in the case of a fire, the test is for use of the cover in a dead load environment only. Any multi-parts above 4m x 3m are not covered by the fire rating.
All insulation times are also based on the Floor Access Covers being completely filled with C40 Concrete. If a surface finish is applied, such as tile, then the insulation times must be disregarded.
As a member of the official Made in Britain organisation, Howe Green manufactures its extensive portfolio of floor access solutions at its UK headquarters in Hertfordshire to exact client and project specifications, meeting the functional and aesthetic requirements of any environment.
