Fire-Rated Kitchen Exhaust Duct Insulation by EKG M & E Sdn Bhd

In the event of a kitchen fire, the exhaust duct acts as a chimney, pulling flames and extreme heat through the building's infrastructure. EKG M & E Sdn Bhd provides professional Fire-Rated Duct Insulation services, utilizing high-performance materials to wrap your extraction system. This critical safety layer prevents radiant heat from igniting nearby combustible materials and ensures your facility meets stringent BOMBA and NFPA 96 fire safety codes.

Key Features of Our Fire-Rated Insulation Services

• High-Performance Ceramic & Mineral Fiber Wraps

  We use industry-standard materials like Rockwool or specialized ceramic fiber blankets that can withstand temperatures exceeding $1,000^\circ\text{C}$ without melting or losing structural integrity.

• Zero-Clearance Protection

  Our 2-hour fire-rated insulation allows ducts to be installed in tight spaces with "zero-clearance" to wooden joists, drywall, or electrical conduits, maximizing your kitchen’s usable ceiling height.

• Passive Fire Protection Compliance

  We ensure all insulation meets the Uniform Building By-Laws (UBBL) of Malaysia. This is essential for obtaining your Fire Certificate (FC) from BOMBA and satisfying insurance requirements.

• Continuous Foil-Scrim-Kraft (FSK) Facing

  The insulation is encapsulated in a reinforced foil vapor barrier. This prevents grease and moisture from soaking into the insulation material, which would otherwise degrade its fire-resistive properties.

• Overlapping Seam Technology

  Our technicians use a "3-inch overlap" technique at all joints and seams, secured with stainless steel banding or pinning, to ensure there are no "hot spots" where fire could break through.

• Internal Fire Damper Coordination

  We coordinate the insulation wrap with your mechanical fire dampers and access panels, ensuring that safety components remain accessible and operational while the duct remains fully protected.

• Thermal Comfort & Condensation Control

  Beyond fire safety, our insulation reduces heat radiation into the kitchen workspace and prevents grease vapors from cooling and condensing into liquid inside the ductwork.
