Malmo’s Fire Safety Compliance: Adapting to BBR 29 and Local Building Regulations
Malmo’s construction sector must navigate a dual framework of national BBR 29 requirements and local municipal fire safety ordinances, which specify fire resistance durations for building elements based on occupancy and height. For example, egress routes in residential towers often require EI30-rated barriers, while commercial atriums demand EI60 or higher. Our fire rated glass systems are tested under EN 1363-1 and EN 1634-1, ensuring compliance with these localized mandates. The products incorporate intumescent gel layers that activate at high temperatures, maintaining integrity by preventing flame penetration and controlling radiant heat. For Malmo’s mixed-use developments, we offer configurations such as 26mm door glass (integrity up to 90 minutes, insulation 68 minutes) and 28mm EI60 panels (integrity 66 minutes, insulation 64 minutes), all certified for Swedish climate conditions. This adaptability allows architects to specify glazed barriers that meet both aesthetic goals and strict compartmentation standards, whether in Western Harbour’s modern towers or historic district retrofits.
Fire Rated Glass Grade Selection: EI30, EI60, and EI120 Specifications for Malmo Projects
Selecting the correct fire rated glass grade is critical for Malmo projects, where mixed-use developments require tailored solutions for internal partitions, stairwell enclosures, and facade openings. Our product range includes EI30, EI60, and EI120 ratings, each tested under EN 1363-1 and EN 1634-1 to provide certified thermal insulation and integrity data. For instance, EI30 glass (e.g., 10mm FPOS with 135-minute integrity and 16-minute insulation) suits low-rise corridor separations, while EI60 options (e.g., 28mm panels with 66-minute integrity and 64-minute insulation) are ideal for stairwell enclosures in multi-story buildings. For high-heat zones like industrial fire bricks or facade openings, EI120 systems (50mm/54mm glass with 120-minute integrity and insulation) deliver robust performance. The table below summarizes key specifications:
| Rating | Glass Thickness | Integrity (min) | Insulation (min) | Typical Application |
|---|
| EI30 | 10mm FPOS | 135 | 16 | Internal partitions |
| EI60 | 28mm panel | 66 | 64 | Stairwell enclosures |
| EI120 | 50mm/54mm | 120 | 120 | Facade openings |
Each product is engineered with multi-layer tempered glass and intumescent gel, ensuring reliable performance under Malmo’s variable humidity (43–90% during testing). For more details, explore our EI60 fire rated glass solutions.
Malmo Building Applications: Fire-Rated Solutions for Historic Districts and New Port Developments
Malmo’s diverse architecture—from the Western Harbour’s modern towers to Gamla Staden’s heritage conversions—demands versatile fire-rated solutions. For corridor separations in new developments, our fire rated glass systems provide transparent barriers that maintain compartmentation without compromising design. In historic districts, retrofit applications require careful integration with existing structures; our 26mm door glass (integrity 89–90 minutes, insulation 68 minutes) is ideal for lobby entrances and egress routes. For high-heat zones like industrial kitchens or boiler rooms, we supply fire-rated glass blocks and bricks that withstand extreme temperatures. Additionally, our systems are engineered for both new builds and retrofits, using G.M.S. hollow steel frames, ceramic wool seals (3–6mm, density 210 kg/m³), and intumescent fire seals (20mm × 4mm) to ensure airtight installation. This adaptability is critical for Malmo’s coastal climate, where humidity and temperature fluctuations (27–36°C during tests) are common.

Why Malmo Contractors Trust Antifires: Localized Support and European Certification Pedigree
Malmo contractors trust Antifires for our localized specification consultations and full EN 13501-1 classification documentation. We provide technical support through Swedish ports, ensuring seamless logistics for custom EI60 fire rated glass panels. Our products carry SCDF-equivalent approvals, simplifying inspection approval for projects in Malmo’s Western Harbour or Gamla Staden. Each system is tested under rigorous conditions—using Type K thermocouples (9–12 channels) and unexposed surface monitoring (10–55 thermocouples)—to guarantee performance. For example, our 28mm EI60 panels achieved 66-minute integrity and 64-minute insulation under furnace pressures of 0 ±2 Pa. This data, combined with our experience in European certification, ensures that Malmo contractors receive reliable, verifiable solutions. Whether for new builds or retrofits, Antifires delivers end-to-end support, from material selection to installation guidance.
