5 reasons why fire-rated acoustic treatments are essential
enhance sound quality without compromising on safety with our acoustic sprays
Creating a calm, quiet space with acoustic treatments doesn’t have to mean compromising on safety.
With exceptional sound absorption, enhanced fire protection and a host of additional benefits, Oscar Acoustics’ SonaSpray range of fire-rated acoustic sprays demonstrate that acoustic comfort and fire safety can go hand in hand.
Here are five reasons why this acoustic solution could be the key to maximising the safety and performance of your next project.
1. SonaSpray means safety first
SonaSpray exceeds the latest fire safety standards set out in the Fire Safety: Approved Document B. It achieves a fire rating of B-s1, d0—combining:
- B rating (very limited combustibility),
- s1 (minimal smoke emission), and
- d0 (zero flaming droplets).
In practical terms, this means that SonaSpray reduces the spread of smoke and completely eliminates hazardous flaming droplets, both critical factors in ensuring safer evacuation during a fire. With SonaSpray, fire safety is always a top priority.
2. ensure compliance with UK building regulations
The Construction Design and Management (CDM) Regulations 2015 declare that UK-based building contractors must take precautionary measures to:
- Limit the quantity of combustible materials on site.
- Control any ignition sources.
SonaSpray’s ‘very limited’ combustibility rating not only meets but exceeds these requirements, ensuring your project is always fully compliant.
3. protect your environment
SonaSpray offers more than just fire safety—it’s the sustainable and environmentally conscious choice.
Certified by GREENGUARD Gold and compliant with BREEAM HEA Indoor Air Quality standards, it meets rigorous requirements for low VOC emissions, improving indoor air quality.
Plus, with up to 80% recycled content, SonaSpray contributes to a reduced carbon footprint, supporting green building certifications such as BREEAM, SKA, and LEED. Its primary ingredients, recycled paper and cotton, are also derived from renewable resources, making it a sustainable choice for eco-conscious projects.
4. commit to quality
Choosing fire-resistant acoustic sprays like SonaSpray reflects a commitment to safety and quality, helping position your building as a premium, high-class space.
With its decorative, seamless finish, it offers an aesthetically pleasing design that doesn’t compromise on acoustic performance. It’s also available in a wide range of colours and finishes – so whatever the needs of your project, SonaSpray offers the perfect fit.
5. versatile applications
From ceilings to curved walls, SonaSpray can be applied to a variety of surfaces and integrates seamlessly with architectural designs.
This versatility means building owners and designers can achieve fire protection without sacrificing creative freedom or visual appeal.
