Walki is launching a new flame-retardant
membrane. Walki ® Wall Tight FR G A2
is a unique vapour barrier that ensures
fire safety for construction assets and
people in case of rescue or evacuation
operations.
The Walki ® Wall Tight FR G A2 can be used
in walls and ceiling as a construction
membrane, preventing heat radiation and
moisture transfer.
As the Walki ® Wall Tight FR G A2 is non-
combustible, it is ideal as an internal vapour
barrier in public buildings such as schools,
hospitals, shopping centres and restaurants.
“We identified the need for a more
flame-retardant material a few years
ago. Then the terrible fire accident at the
Grenfell tower happened in the UK, and
fire regulations were intensified”, says
Pierrick Girard, Business Line Manager,
Construction Membranes at Walki.
“In warmer places, such as Dubai, the
vapour barrier can be used externally as
protective sheathing in high rise buildings”,
says Girard.

The building regulations amended by the UK government, that
came into force in December 2018, bans the use of combustible
materials in the external wall of buildings. The construction of
the external wall, along with specified attachments, must be
investigated by the Local Council Building Control and, where
necessary, work must be carried out to ensure they only contain
materials achieving European Class A2-s1, d0, i.e. it must be non-
combustible.
“The Walki ® Wall Tight FR G A2 underwent extensive testing in
December last year, and received Euroclass A2-s1-d0 standard. In
other words, the membrane has been proven non-combustible”,
says Girard.
Walki has worked on developing the product
for over two years. The membrane is based on lacquered aluminum
layers laminated with strong glass fabric, attached together with a
special flame-retardant glue.
“Both aluminum and glass fibre are non-combustible, ensuring that
the vapour barrier has a good fire resistance. This solution is also cost-
efficient compared to other options on the market”, says Girard.
The membrane is ready for sales, and will primarily be launched for
the UK markets, but will of course be available for other countries as
well.
