Blast-mitigating wall coverings
Solutions designed to reduce structural fragmentation and flying debris risks.
The wall-covering approach uses composites containing aramid fibres and cotton to reduce blast pressure and the effects of flying fragments. A finish resembling the existing wall supports architectural compatibility in modern and historic buildings.
Key features include rapid installation, compatibility with conventional paints, ventilation through porous materials, fire resistance and integration with protected doors and windows. Suitability and performance are assessed for the specific materials and application conditions.
