Kemwell Fire and Woodwarm Stoves partner at Hearth & Home Expo 2019

Kemwell Fire and Woodwarm Stoves partner at Hearth & Home Expo 2019

We are delighted to be working alongside the high-quality stove manufacturer, Woodwarm Stoves at this year’s Hearth & Home show in Harrogate between 9-11th June 2019.

Woodwarm Stoves has both quality and safety at the centre of their operational ethos. This is one of the reasons why they endorse and use Kemwell FPL Fireplace Lining Calcium Silicate Board as part of their stove installations when a new or replacement wall lining is required.

On the Woodwarm Stoves stand (B10) you will be able to see one of their stoves with Kemwell FPL used to help make the installation look beautiful as well as being safe, long-lasting and HETAS compliant.

They will also be showing their exciting new Ecodesign Ready Phoenix Range, from 4kW to 8kW.This contemporary range of stoves exceed the minimum requirements for 2022 and are all approved for smoke-controlled areas. These stunning stoves are individually built by craftsmen in the heart of Devon and retain all the fantastic features of the original Phoenix Range including stay cool handles, ease of lighting and amazing controllability aided by the extremely controllable secondary and tertiary air systems.

Included in the range and on show at Harrogate is the easy fit Phoenix Eco Firebright 5kW Inset stove and the new sleeker designed Phoenix Eco Firebug – now 8kW.

Also, at Hearth & Home this year is their thermostatically, fan assisted Gas Fired Phoenix Stoves, available in 3, 5 and 7kW. Fully remote controlled, electronic ignition and stunning real flame effect fire. Conventional and balance flue options available. Come and see these beautiful and realistic flame effect gas stoves.

An open fire has historically been associated with a warm chimney and, on testing, it can often be shown that 90% of the heat from the fire can be lost to the chimney and the outside air. Woodwarm stoves are safe, single self-contained units which eliminate the waste and put the heat back to the room where it belongs.

All Woodwarm stoves feature an excellent air wash system. After circulating the stove, preheated air flushes down over the double glazed door keeping the glass perfectly clean at all times, even at low temperatures. Superior clean burn efficiency means that not only is more heat achieved on less fuel, but combustion products in the flue are also reduced, causing fewer flue problems. Reduction in pollution combined with more efficiency creates a really environmentally friendly device.

We are also at the exhibition and visitors will be able to discuss the new Kemwell FPL Fireplace Lining Calcium Silicate Board System on stand C31. 

 

Kemwell FPL is a safe, reliable and robust chimney breast lining system, specifically designed for stoves and cassette and inset fireplaces. The system can resist continuous high temperatures up to 1000°C and the board will remain dimensionally stable during and after heating.

To ensure householder safety, compliance with the required HETAS standards is vital, both in terms of product selection and correct installation. All components of a fireplace lining system should be compatible and fire safe. The Kemwell FPL calcium silicate board system is A1 non-combustible, the highest level of fire performance. Kemwell boards are easy to handle, transport and install.

Kemwell FPL is designed to meet Building Regulations Part J (Combustion Appliances and Fuel Storage Systems), providing homeowners, architects, developers, and contractors with adaptability and performance benefits to enable safe and innovative designs in the home.

Kemwell Fire International is a specialist passive fire protection company focused on the protection of life, buildings, and the surrounding environment by meeting the relevant regulatory standard and making life simple for specifiers and installers, as well as providing peace of mind to householders and businesses.

Kemwell launches a fire protection system to meet the stringent requirements of the multi-storey commercial and industrial steel framed market

Kemwell launches a fire protection system to meet the stringent requirements of the multi-storey commercial and industrial steel framed market

Kemwell Fire International is delighted to announce the launch of a fire protection board system and range of spray systems to meet the stringent requirements of the multi-storey commercial and industrial steel framed market.

Steel structures are used for building purposes worldwide. One of the main advantages is that they have great resistance per weight unit, which provides them with huge versatility and the possibility of creating complex yet light structures.

However, the thermal conductivity of steel represents a disadvantage. Therefore, in the event of a fire, the gradual increases in temperature plus steel high heat transmission result in a substantial reduction of the structure’s bearing capacity and mechanical resistance. The resistance and elastic limit are modified above 250°C, and above roughly 500°C the drop in resistance is significant enough not to support its design capacity.

Kemwell Tecbor® A and B are magnesium based boards and are A1 classified as per EN standard, designed to achieve fire protection up to El 240. Kemwell Tecbor boards have been developed for a wide range of applications in today’s demanding construction industry.

Kemwell Tecwool® F is a rock wool and cementitious spray specifically engineered for fire protection of all types of building structures and faces. It can be used with Kemwell Tecbor Board systems.

An electric reaction to Kemwell’s KemSafe Cable Enclosure System at the UK Infrastructure Show, NEC

An electric reaction to Kemwell’s KemSafe Cable Enclosure System at the UK Infrastructure Show, NEC

Kemwell Fire’s solution for High Voltage cable protection – the KemSafe CES Cable Enclosure System – created a high voltage reaction of its own when it was showcased at the UK Infrastructure Show on 17th April.

The installation display created an electric reaction amongst the contractors and specifiers visiting the show and clearly demonstrated the simplicity and effectiveness of the Kemwell prefabricated fire protection cable enclosure system, which is supplied in bespoke sections, ready for onsite installation.

The UK Infrastructure Show

Infrastructure is the foundation upon which our economy is built. The Government remains determined to deliver better infrastructure across the UK to help grow the economy and improve opportunities. With a newly released national infrastructure pipeline of over £600 billion in projects to be completed over the next 10 years, the infrastructure industry represents a significant opportunity for businesses of all sizes.

The UK Infrastructure Show 2018 provided participants with a unique opportunity to engage, connect and collaborate with a vast array of key projects, decision-makers and influencers focusing on key areas of major, sustained investment – Transport, Energy and Housing.

Eddie Lunham, Business Development Director of Kemwell Fire International commented: ‘The feedback received at the show on the suitability of the KemSafe Cable Enclosure System to provide optimum safety and peace of mind for protecting escape routes from potentially fatal high voltage cable fires, demonstrated the important role Kemwell has in helping to improve the UK’s infrastructure.”

Kemwell KemSafe cable enclosure systems (CES)

KemSafe cable enclosure systems (CES) are specifically designed and manufactured to provide optimum fire protection and thermal insulation performance at high temperatures.

KemSafe CES is a proven solution for the protection of medium and high voltage cables in the building and construction industry, and a tested solution to the requirements of BS 8519:2010.

Electrical cables which may pose a significant risk in fire scenarios are installed in many areas of a building, including corridors, and also often distributed to adjoining rooms and compartments.

Corridors are used as escape routes during a fire; therefore, cable installations are of particular concern to those responsible for the safety of the building and its occupants, especially with electrical short circuits being a major cause of a fire, and the risk of smoke and toxic gases accumulating in access and escape route.

KemSafe CES inhibit the spread of fire and heat when ignited inside the duct, containing it and stopping it entering other compartments (e.g. corridor escape routes) for enough time to allow safe evacuation or for the emergency services to enter.
