Europrofil VFL-FB is a ventilated facade profile with integrated fire seal in collaboration with FireSeal.

The fire seal consists of a strip of expanding graphite compound that expands significantly even at low temperatures. The graphite strip expands to approximately 25 times its own thickness and can easily cope with unevenness in the air gap or in the ventilated facade. VFL-FB is a safe, secure, and cost-effective solution for preventing the spread of fire in the air gap behind the facade material where you want to keep the ventilated air gap open.

A common solution is to install VFL-FB at each joist edge as a replacement for a traditional VFL. As long as the installation instructions are followed, the job is done. This saves time and money and reduces the risk of incorrect installations. Europrofil's fire-resistant facade battens must be installed with fasteners spaced no more than 600 mm apart.

Advantages of WallClick

• All-in-one: battens, fire protection, protection against flash fires and rodents
• Effective fire protection for ventilated facades in Nordic conditions.
• Extensively fire tested for up to 45 minutes in various construction materials; tests were conducted at RISE in Sweden.
• Effectively expands and seals air gaps up to 50 mm and is forgiving of unevenness in the substrate
• The perforation in the profile prevents flaming gases from escaping through the air gap in the initial stages of a fire, before the graphite in the intumescent strip has had time to expand fully.
• Tested with both plasterboard and wind barrier/insulation.
• The graphite tape is age-resistant and insensitive to moisture.
• The Fire Barrier intumescent tape from FireSeal has been assessed in several environmental assessment systems, such as the Nordic Ecolabel, Sunda Hus, Byggvarubedömningen, and Basta.
