Burn Rooms

WHP designs burn rooms to protect steel, concrete and masonry structures from repeated burns. Air space, created by a combination of hat channels and battens (small strips of Padgenite) provide excellent insulation for the building.

Padgenite panels are treated with a two-part chemical process. They will not absorb water and will not support mold. Padgenite was first introduced in 1980 and has a proven track record.

When considering what system to select, ask the following questions:

 • What is the product's track record?

 • Is it cost effective?

 • Does it look like what you would encounter at a fire scene?

 • Can you use your thermal imaging camera with it?

 • Are there steam conversion issues?

 • How easy is it to inspect behind the panels?

 • What is covered by the warranty and how good is it?

 • Are the windows and doors protected to the same

   temperature as the walls?
