In Dubai, the hospitality industry is characterized by its high-end architecture, high-quality finishes, and high levels of safety expectations for guests. As a result of this, many resorts and hotels are now using wood to provide a sense of warmth, sophistication, and a natural feel to their interior spaces and some of their structural components.
Practical application of the fire retardancy of timber
- Timber that has been fire treated through
chemical or physical processes has a lower potential for flame spread and
ignition, and reduced heat output in the event of fire than untreated
timber.
- Fire
Treatment for Wood does
not render timber completely non-combustible; however, it significantly
improves the reaction to fire characteristics of timber.
- Timber that has been fire-treated by EVORA Technical
Services is particularly suited to wall paneling used in
hotels and resorts.
- Properly treated timber gives more predictable
charring characteristics and provides valuable time in which to evacuate
and extinguish the fire, without compromising the design intent of the
product.
- The materials used in hotel interior design
include wall panelling, ceilings, doors, and decorative wooden elements in
the guest rooms, lobby areas, restaurants, and conference rooms.
Fire safety regulations
When fire-treated wood meets the recognized fire-retardant classification as specified in DCD, and is tested according to internationally accepted testing methods, it is generally considered an acceptable option for building materials in a hospitality environment. Fire Treatment for Wood Dubai can be used in hospitality buildings provided it has been properly treated with a fire-retardant treatment, has received the necessary documentation, and has been submitted to the Dubai Civil Defence (DCD) for evaluation and approval for the specific hospitality project.
