Trade Name Astro Lumi Cover  

Introduction

The purpose of this document is to give guidance to approved contractors and suppliers who are engaged in the fire stopping of service penetrations in fire rated structures using the Astro lumi cover

• Prevent the spread of fire, smoke and hot gases through a building by containing it in the compartment of origin.
• Maintain the integrity of escape routes from a building.
• Reduce loss or damage to property from the effect of fire and smoke.
• Maintain pressure differential between compartments and ventilation channels.

THE ASTRO lumi cover SYSTEM

Recessed luminaires or modular light fittings are widely used in commercial buildings. Each ceiling is subject to fire regulations and where applicable the ceiling construction needs to be fire rated.

When a ceiling tile is replaced by a recessed luminaire, the integrity of the ceiling's construction and its ability to perform in a fire are reduced significantly.

To combat this ASTROFLAME, as part of its continuing development of passive fire protection solutions, has developed a Recessed Luminaire Cover for use in 30 and 60 minute fire rated ceilings.
