Bridgehill Fireblock Non Combustible Insulation Doesn’T Necessarily Make A PV Roof Non Combustible
FireBlock Safety PV Systems R&D
Mineral wool is non-combustible. But when mineral wool is installed between the rafters of a pitched roof, does it necessarily prevent a fire originating above the roof, beneath a photovoltaic installation, from developing into a structural roof fire? Our continued work on PV fire incidents and our own full-scale fire testing have led us to look more closely at this question. The issue is not the fire performance of mineral wool itself. The issue may be where the non-combustible material is positioned relative to the fire.
