Basement Technologies Wall Panel System Completes NFPA-286 Corner Room Fire Test

March 11, 2010 - PRLog -- Basement Transformation Technologies has just successfully completed a critical fire test for their new integrated wall panel system. The NFPA-286 Corner Room Fire Test is the seminal test for flame and smoke criteria for wall panels. Achieving a satisfactory result on this vital fire test is a major step for Basement Transformation Technologies to acquire the preeminent ICC (International Code Council) Evaluation Report.

The company has successfully completed other important tests – such as the ASTM E-84 flame test and IBC 803.10 stability test – but the successful Corner Room Fire Test is a principal achievement and far-reaching addition to their basement finishing resume.

The NFPA- 286 (National Fire Protection Association 286) test evaluates the contribution of wall and ceiling interior finish to room fire growth.

The satisfactory test results means that Basement Transformation Technologies wall panels meet the acceptance criteria for interior wall or ceiling finishes as described in the 2006 IBC.

The wall panel system and design is unique in the industry for mold, insulation and breathing effectiveness in a musty finished basement area that is located underground and proves that specialty products, such as the new Basement Transformation Technologies Finishing System, are necessary and are in demand. Utilizing recycled, highly insulated and beautiful panels for the walls and with a system for the ceiling and floor, Basement Transformation Technologies is a pioneer in this specialty contracting field.

This test result provides significant documentation of the safety and security of the wall panel in a home or building. James Pratt, owner of Basement Transformation Technologies, states – “it is not an easy or fast process to earn an ICC Evaluation and acceptance, but this is a huge step toward achieving our goal. We have committed to our network of Basement Transformation Technologies Dealers that we will offer the assurance and affirmation of diligent and fastidious testing leading up to the issuance of an ICC Evaluation Report of our integrated wall panels”.
