Summary



WOODENHA, the first French company to fireproof solid 3-ply wood panels

WOODENHA, a specialist in improving the performance of wood, is today the only French company capable of fireproofing solid 3-ply wood in Euroclass Bs1d0; a product particularly well-suited to the creation of wall and ceiling coverings in ERP - Public Buildings.

Indeed, in a context where the construction of ERPs increasingly integrates

more wood, it is mandatory to give this material a suitable reaction to fire

for its use. For example, depending on the case, a wall covering will have to be

Euroclass C or B (i.e. M2 or M1) and a ceiling must be Euroclass B (i.e. M1).

STRONG EXPERTISE IN FIREPROOFING SOLID 3-PLY

WOODENHA has the equipment and expertise to fireproof all types of interior and exterior wood and prevent or delay the spread of fire from an initial source as much as possible. To guarantee the quality of the treatment and its certification (including CE marking), the company is equipped with traceability and weighing systems unique in France, throughout the fireproofing process. This know-how now allows WOODENHA to transfer a Euroclass Bs3d1 (M0) fire reaction to 1 solid layers.
