One of the disasters that often occur in residential areas is fire. Whether it occurs due to an electrical short circuit, human error, or a natural disaster like heavy storms and thunder. When the fire spreads to the electrical installation of the house, fire cannot always be avoided. We just have to stay alert and keep looking for ways to anticipate the fires. One way to minimize huge losses due to fire is to coat all parts of the building using fireproof fabrics.

Fireproof Material Category
When we talk about a fire that breaks out in a building, we’re not just talking about the material that covers the building. We will also talk about how much loss can result from not installing fireproof fabrics on some sides of a building. If the building construction uses fire-resistant materials or additives that slow combustion, the fire can be immediately suppressed or slowed down so that the fire can be extinguished.
So, it’s a good idea if you start categorizing the types of items in your house into several sections. This is to make it easier for you to know how much loss you can get and how you will coat your building using fireproof fabrics as a precaution in the future.
Get to Know The Ignition Power of a Material
All materials around us have different ignitability of fire. Some of them are classified as incombustible materials such as paper, wood, fabric, plastic, and others. The materials are often found in a building as construction parts furnishing, and furniture. Then, there are non-combustible materials that do not ignite and do not emit combustion gases when exposed to fire or heat. The non-combustible materials are marble, ceramics, steel, and insulation materials such as wool, fiberglass, and stone fiber.
It would be wise if your building is filled with non-combustible materials so that the fire can be easily extinguished and the loss is not too much. If it turns out that so many combustible materials in your building, you can start coating them with fireproof fabrics or insulation materials.
Material Selection for Fire Prevention
Do you know that curtains made of wool can slow the escalation of flashover?
A flashover is an event where the burning room temperature reaches about 400 to 5.000 degrees Celsius. And it cause some of the surrounding materials to undergo thermal decomposition and releases gases that accelerate the combustion process. The materials like wool, fiberglass, and silk have good fire resistance. Even natural fibers such as wool and silk have low ignition power and will not melt. Hence, the fire won’t spread to other objects in the vicinity.
The fire that burns the natural fibers will then die after the natural fibers are burned and do not melt. While for wool, when wool burns, it will only leave residues like charcoal fibers, and the fire will extinguish itself.
Fiberglass Sheet for Wall Cladding
You will try anything to anticipate the fire, right? How about lining the interior walls using fiberglass? One of these fireproof fabrics is obtained from melted glass and then spun in a centrifuge whose holes expel glass fibers. Fiberglass’ nonflammable nature will protect your interior walls from fire.
Bright Sky New Material Co Ltd. as a manufacturer that produces fireproof fabrics, creates a high silica fiberglass fabric that is resistant to high temperatures with good chemical stability, low thermal conductivity, softening point close to 1.700 degrees Celsius, and can be reliable heat-resistant insulation. Consult with us to get whole the information about fireproof fabrics you need the most.
Electrical Insulation with Silicone Cloth
Electricity is the most important part of a building. Proper electrical insulation can save buildings from fire hazards. One of the quality fireproof fabrics that can provide the best electrical insulation is silicone cloth. This fabric is made of high temperature resistant, anti-corrosion fiberglass cloth, which is coated with silicone rubber. This product has been widely used in the chemical industry, machinery, big-scale power generation equipment, non-metallic expansion joints, aerospace, etc.
