TENMAT EXHIBITS RECESSED LIGHT ENCLOSURES AT 2015 ICAA CONVENTION

TENMAT will be exhibiting its line of recessed light enclosures for insulation protection at the annual Insulation Contractors Association of America (ICAA) Convention & Trade Show in Las Vegas, NV (10/01-10/02). This year marks the 5th anniversary of TENMAT exhibiting at this premier event, so please join us in Vegas and visit us at Stand 608 to learn more about our innovative recessed light enclosures.

Stay up-to-date with the latest developments at TENMAT and follow us on Facebook and Twitter.

TENMAT REVOLUTIONISE FIRE PROTECTION

Until recently, the only way to fire protect and ventilate wall cavities in timber framed buildings was to use a “full fire sock” and then ventilate the sealed cavity (created by the fire sock) with weep holes and cavity trays.


The combination of full cavity socks, weep holes and cavity trays is both expensive and difficult to get exactly right on-site, therefore there are many failures due to poor water dispersion and lack of ventilation as well as poor fire protection.

The TENMAT solution is to replace all of the old components with a single, easy to fit product.

The TENMAT Cavity Fire Barrier on a Roll, allows the wall cavity to remain open and so water dispersion and ventilation is optimised, in the event of a fire the cavity barrier seals the wall cavity, including and building irregularities for a perfect fire seal.


TENMAT REVOLUTIONISE FIRE PROTECTION – SIMPLE, COST EFFECTIVE, RELIABLE.

TENMAT are already supplying a number of major timber frame companies.

TENMAT INCREASE THE LIFE OF LED DOWNLIGHTS

Temperature fluctuations dramatically reduce the life span of LED downlights. LED downlights which penetrate into the loft spaces of houses are exposed to significant changes in operating temperatures in winter and summer. The LED industry has been trying to develop solutions for this situation for a number of years including large heat sinks and even fan cooling of downlights.

Work at the Lighting Industry Association has shown that fitting a TENMAT Loft Cover to LED downlights gives total temperature stability even when the loft temperature reaches 55 deg C. The reason for this stability is that the TENMAT Loft Cover creates a thermal barrier between the loft and the downlight. The breathable nature of the material allows any heat generated to pass into the loft thus keeping operating temperatures low. The result is that TENMAT increase the life of LED downlights.
