Is Fire-Treated Timber Acceptable For Resorts And Hotels In Dubai?

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.

The balance between luxury and unsafe materials has always been a challenge for the hotel industry in Dubai. With the introduction of fire-treated timber, however, this has become a much easier task than previously thought possible. Fire Treatment for Wood UAE has allowed for innovative designs on the interior, as well as compliance with the strictest safety codes in Dubai. In addition, fire-treated timber allows for enhanced risk management when compared with untreated wood and can positively affect the cost of your insurance.
