 Canopies and Downlight Coves are designed specifically to stop the passage of smoke and fire through a fire-rated ceiling, where recessed luminaires or downlights are fitted.
|
Tests have shown that without the canopy in place, fire and smoke would penetrate through the recessed light fitting in seconds, speading into the void or room above, endangering both lives and property.
The Canopy or Downlight cover will provide 60 minutes protection, by completely containing the fire and smoke within the cover, whilst at the same time allowing the heat from the light fitting to dissipate through the cover. |
