IFD Low Loss Damper

As many of you are aware, the IFD Low-Loss has been out for several months now.  The product has been a fantastic new addition to our product line.

The development of the Low-Loss damper has been a much sought-after improvement needed in the industry for many years with many of the current lines of intumescent dampers not changing for more than 20 years. The IFD-LL was greeted with a very positive, warm welcome across the entire HVAC industry.

With Australian & International standards changing, we needed to ensure that our product would not only be an improvement to design and our range but ensure future proofing for further development.

A significant part of the installation of fire dampers includes the requirement of an Installation Label outlined in AS1682.2.

Development of the label required several months of testing, proofing, redevelopment and eventual release. Now that the kinks have been ironed out, Kilargo has a well-tested and proven IFD Installation Label for our fire dampers. The installer labels are fully compliant with the latest standard, simple to use and give our installers a little more convenience when installing the product.

Each label is a dual-peel system, pre-attached to the damper, with a section for installers to enter their name & licence information and relevant dates. Once completed, it can then be peeled again and applied to the appropriate surface for inspection purposes.

We’re all about smart, simple solutions in the HVAC industry and invite you to take a look at our product & installation label at our local distributor or from your local Kilargo sales specialist.

Australian Bushfire Season 2019

With the upcoming change of season, Australia has begun to prepare itself for another Bushfire Season around the country.

In 2003, Canberra experienced significant bushfires causing loss of life and major damage to property across the region. Since that time, the Australian Standard relating to building in bushfire prone areas had been revised and a new Australian Standard (AS3959) was drafted.

In 2009 after another series of devastating bushfires in Victoria, this Standard was extensively reviewed and clearer guidelines on the construction requirements for bushfire prone areas were developed.

A great deal of scientific modelling has gone into the new building Standard AS3959-2009 (Construction of buildings in bushfire-prone areas). We now have a system to determine the type of building construction required in bushfire prone areas in order to improve their resistance to bushfire attack from burning embers, radiant heat or flames generated by a bushfire.

Kilargo has produced a series of Door Sealing Systems to assist during the construction of buildings in these Bushfire Prone areas – with a focus on defending against potential risk of fire.

Take a look at our mini bushfire brochure below to find out how Kilargo can help you defend against potential bushfire damage.
