Rector Charpentes & Structures launches its Rsoft fire-resistant panel with reduced carbon impact

In addition to these requirements, there are particularly strict safety standards aimed at preventing the spread of a fire, reducing its material consequences and ensuring the protection of people.

To meet this dual obligation, RECTOR CHARPENTES & STRUCTURES, a prefabricator of concrete elements for over thirty years, is launching the first low-carbon concrete fire-resistant panel, Rsoft.

Performance, quality and speed of implementation

Rsoft fire-resistant panels from RECTOR CHARPENTES & STRUCTURES play a crucial role in the compartmentalization of buildings, limiting the spread of flames and smoke from one space to another in order to comply with regulations.

They offer fire resistance of up to 4 hours (REI 240), ensuring lasting protection for occupants and facilities.

Manufactured in a factory (at a rate of 60 pieces/day), these panels, with a thickness of 15 to 18 cm and a maximum length of 12 meters, are delivered ready to install, ensuring consistent quality as well as fast delivery and installation.

The lowest carbon footprint on the market

Rsoft low carbon firestop panels are made from a low carbon impact concrete formulation and 100% recycled steel, giving them the lowest carbon impact on the market.

They offer a reduction in carbon impact, up to -28% compared to the FDES available on the INIES database, and up to -72%* compared to the default environmental data (DED) for this product family.

With the first prefabricated low-carbon concrete firestop panel on the market, RECTOR CHARPENTE & STRUCTURES is taking a significant lead to position itself as the leading player in this sector in France.
