PYROFORT FAQs
What is PYROFORT?
PYROFORT is FGF’s proprietary family of specialist construction products, including boards, membranes, tapes, sealants and fixings. The range is supported by technical guidance, UK stockholding, selected CNC fabrication services and nationwide delivery.
Where can I download PYROFORT technical datasheets?
Available technical datasheets can be downloaded directly from the relevant product and accessory sections on this page. Enter your name and email address when accessing your first datasheet and further available datasheets can then be opened directly during the same browser session.
For additional technical information or documentation not currently available for download, contact the FGF team.
Where can I find technical performance information?
Technical performance, reaction-to-fire classifications and installation guidance are provided within the relevant product datasheet and supporting technical documentation. Product performance and suitable applications vary across the PYROFORT range.
Can FGF help identify a suitable PYROFORT product?
Yes. FGF can provide technical guidance to help identify potentially suitable PYROFORT products for specific applications. Final product selection should be based on the relevant project requirements, system design and technical documentation.
What products are comparable to PYROFORT external sheathing boards?
Depending on the application and project requirements, PYROFORT external sheathing boards may be considered alongside other specialist sheathing and construction boards available in the UK market, including RCM Y-wall®, Euroform Versaroc® and Versapanel®, Kemwell WeatherKem®, OBEX sheathing boards, Klasse external sheathing boards, Mayplas Cemboard and Secolite.
Product composition, thickness, fire performance, weather resistance, certification and suitability vary between manufacturers, so these products should not be treated as direct equivalents. Suitability should be assessed against the required fire classification, exposure, substrate, system build-up and other relevant project requirements.
FGF can help contractors, specialist subcontractors, specifiers and builders merchants compare project requirements and identify a potentially suitable PYROFORT solution.
Can PYROFORT boards be fabricated before delivery?
Selected PYROFORT boards can be cut, drilled, routed or CNC machined to project-specific requirements. Fabrication availability varies by product and should be confirmed with FGF before specification or order.
Which fixings should be used with PYROFORT boards?
The required fixing depends on the board, substrate and system build-up. PYROFORT SFS Board Screws are available for identified steel framing system applications, while Timber & Light-Gauge Metal Board Screws are available for identified timber and light-gauge metal framing applications.
Always confirm the required fixing specification against the relevant technical datasheet and system documentation.
Does FGF deliver PYROFORT products nationwide?
FGF can support delivery to projects throughout the UK, subject to product availability, order requirements and agreed delivery arrangements.
