Design Out The Risk: Fire Safety & Facades. Where do we stand today?

Rockpanel and ROCKWOOL have come together to present the latest research and thinking on how best to design out risk and ensure fire safety when it comes to specifying exterior cladding systems, with particular focus on high rise structures.

With an ever-increasing focus on regulation, and fire safety under particular scrutiny at this time, specifying products used in construction that reach or exceed the highest building standards must be a primary concern. The scale and complexity of high-rise properties constitute a particular challenge when it comes to ensuring the various parts of an external façade cladding system work efficiently together, are easy to install and conform to the same high building regulations.

The event promises to be an engaging, informative and valuable chance to hear about best practice and exchange ideas. The afternoon will take the form of presentations and less formal opportunities to circulate and network with fellow professionals.

CPD points can be attained for this event.
