BENEFITS
FIREFLY™ R31 & B16 Stainless Steel Staples have been specifically tested to maintain fire performance in the installation of a FIREFLY™ fire barrier system.
Use of these staples and their installation in accordance with the FIREFLY™ Installation Manuals provides the reassurance of the integrity the installed system to the same level as the fire-tested system.
Staples must NOT be substituted for galvanised staples, as these have a much inferior fire performance and will compromise the entire installation.
Both R31 & B16 staples provide the required fire performance as part of the FIREFLY™ barrier system – it is only with the ATHENA range where the B16 16mm staple must specifically be the product used.
