Metza Column Casings
mezzanine floor column casings
Manufacture
Metza column casings are designed specifically for use with interior mezzanine floor systems, primarily to protect the structural support columns from impact damage and fire.
Manufactured using an outer skin of coated steel, lined with a dense, fire resistant Rocksilk matting, Metza casings can provide up to 3 hours fire protection.
Installation
Normally supplied as a four-sided casing to fully encase a mezzanine's structural columns, the casings incorporate a 'U' shaped channel onto which the separate fourth side snaps and locks into place using an integral joint.
To simplify fitting when working close to walls or where access is restricted, the casings can also be specified as two interlocking 'L' shaped profiles.
Fire performance
Up to 3 hours fire protection is provided by Metza mezzanine floor casings as a result of the use of Rocksilk mineral wool fire barrier to encase the structural column inside a lightweight steel skin. The fire barrier is classified as non-combustible to BS 476-4 and Class 'O' spread of flame to the UK Building Regulations.
