Exterior Fire Stop Hybrid Wall Panel

Abstract

A hybrid framed curtain wall panel is used to prevent inter-floor fire propagation from both the interior and exterior, featuring the combined use of three different infill materials for three different functions. The first infill is a continuous exterior fire-resistant thin pane for providing an aesthetic element and for preventing exterior inter-floor fire propagation. The second infill is a small band of fire-resistant material, such as mineral wool panel infill, located at the slab edge for preventing interior inter-floor fire propagation. The third infill is a structural infill, such as composite foam panel infill, to provide a light-weight material with excellent thermal insulation value.
