  • Does the PUF Panel sound absorbent?
    PUF panel is not typically designed to be sound-absorbent, as its primary function is to provide thermal insulation. However, the insulation properties of PUF panel can help to reduce the transmission of sound through walls and ceilings to some extent. The level of sound insulation provided by PUF panel depends on several factors, including the thickness of the panel, the materials used in their construction, and the frequency of the sound waves being transmitted. Thicker panel with a higher density of insulation material can provide better sound insulation. If sound insulation is a primary concern, it may be more appropriate to use specialized sound-absorbing materials such as acoustic insulation, which are designed to specifically absorb sound and reduce echoes in a space. In summary, while PUF panel is not specifically designed to be sound-absorbent, It can provide some degree of sound insulation due to its insulation properties. However, for optimal sound insulation, it is best to use specialized, sound-absorbing materials.
  • Are our Doors fire resistant?
    Fire resistant doors are specifically designed and constructed to help prevent the spread of fire and smoke in buildings. They are made with materials that have been treated or designed to resist burning and limit the spread of flames, heat, and smoke. Fire resistant doors are typically labeled and rated according to their fire resistant and smoke control capabilities. The rating is usually expressed as a time period in minutes, such as 30, 60, or 90 minutes, which represents the length of time the door can withstand exposure to fire and still maintain its integrity and function. It's important to note that not all doors are fire resistant. Interior doors, such as those found in residential homes or office buildings, may not be designed for fire resistant, whereas doors in commercial or industrial buildings may be required by building codes to be fire resistant. If you are unsure if your doors are fire resistant, you should consult with a professional fire safety expert or conduct a fire safety inspection to ensure that your doors meet the necessary fire safety requirements for your particular application.
