Magnesium-based, water resistant, tile backer board that does not swell, rot or degrade following contact with moisture.
Developed and manufactured by Resistant building products, this product provides high performance in the moist humid and wet environments, resisting mould to provide a healthier interior environment.
MultiPro Tile Backer Board provides a non-combustible substrate for internal wet areas such as kitchens, utility rooms, bathrooms, shower cubicles and swimming pools.
Building boards are environmentally friendly due to their low emission of Carbon Dioxide in conjunction with a greener, cold fusion manufacturing process.
This product is also a chemically safer tile backer as it contains 0.5% crystalline silica, whereas other rival tile backers contain up to 50%.
A request we commonly receive is that for a panel with a 1 hour or ½ hr fire rating.
30 or 60mins relates to the concept of Fire Resistance and typically relates to the ability of an elevation or door to withstand the passage of a fully developed fire for said amount of time.
Euroclass relates to the concept of Reaction to Fire and focuses on initial fire growth phase. A Euroclass rated panel may form part of a fire barrier system requiring 30 or 60 mins Fire Resistance overall. We recommend that suitability of a Euroclass rated panel within the design is based upon 3rd party assessment or independent testing specific to the project in question.
There are 7 Euroclass classifications ranging from A1 to F. In line with the Construction Products Regulation (2013) each Euroclass rating requires testing against the relevant European fire test methods – see table below.
Hanson Plywood offer a range of panels manufactured with an A1 rating (see below). Untreated wood-based panels such as plywood, OSB, MDF & Chipboard typically achieve a Euroclass D or E rating. Fire rated panels can be supplied to a Euroclass B or Euroclass C fire performance as required depending upon regulatory requirements.
