NextStone Panels and Accessories are designed with safety as a paramount concern. Their fire resistance or retardant properties are achieved through the careful selection of materials and manufacturing processes used in their production.
- Fire Retardants: NextStone panels and accessories are manufactured with specially formulated polyurethane that is mixed with fire retardants. Fire retardants are substances that help to slow down or stop the spread of fire. They work by inhibiting or suppressing the chemical reactions occurring in a fire.
- Non-Flammable Designation: NextStone products are designated as non-flammable. This means they will not easily catch fire or continue burning once ignited. This property adds an extra layer of fire safety to your home or building.
- Composite Polyurethane Reinforced with PVC: The panels are made of a composite polyurethane, reinforced with recycled PVC. This combination not only provides durability but also enhances the fire-resistant quality of the panels.
- In-Mold Coating: The panels are processed with a proprietary in-mold coating. While this coating primarily prevents fading, it also contributes to the overall fire resistance of the panels.
These features combine to make NextStone Panels and Accessories highly fire-resistant, providing peace of mind for homeowners and builders alike. It’s worth noting that while these panels are fire-retardant, they should still be installed and used in accordance with local building codes and regulations.
