MB-118EI: Setting New Standards in Fire-Rated Solutions

When it comes to high-performance fire rated systems, MB-118EI from Aluprof represents a significant leap forward in safety, design flexibility, and energy efficiency. At Aluminium Fire Systems, we are proud to offer this innovative product to architects, developers, and builders seeking unparalleled fire protection that doesn’t compromise on aesthetics.

Key Features and Advantages of MB-118EI

1. Outstanding Fire Resistance

The MB-118EI system is engineered to meet strict fire safety standards, offering up to EI120 fire resistance, depending on configuration. This high rating helps contain flames and smoke for extended periods, allowing occupants more time to safely evacuate and emergency services to respond effectively. 

2. Advanced Aluminium Profile Design

Like many other solutions featured on our website, MB-118EI is built using extruded aluminium profiles. Aluminium offers an impressive strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and recyclability. It’s also easily customisable with various RAL colour finishes, ensuring a seamless integration into any architectural design.

3. Thermally Broken Construction

To enhance energy efficiency, MB-118EI incorporates polyamide thermal breaks that reduce heat transfer through the frame. These thermal breaks can be further reinforced with glass fibre, boosting overall durability and providing excellent thermal insulation in both residential and commercial buildings.

4. Versatile Glazing Options

Whether you need single or double glazing, MB-118EI supports a wide range of fire-resistant glass types. This versatility allows you to balance fire protection, thermal insulation, and acoustic performance without sacrificing visual appeal.

5. Compliance with International Standards

Aluprof’s MB-118EI system has undergone rigorous testing and certification to meet international fire safety regulations (e.g., EN 13501-2). With a proven record for reliability, it offers peace of mind for designers, contractors, and end-users alike.

Ideal Applications for MB-118EI

  1. Fire Doors & Partitions
    MB-118EI is perfect for single or double leaf fire doors and internal fire rated partitions, ensuring building compartments remain protected in the event of a fire.
  2. Commercial & Public Buildings
    From offices and shopping centres to educational institutions and hospitals, MB-118EI helps meet stringent regulatory requirements and safety codes.
  3. Facade Installations
    For projects requiring a unified exterior aesthetic with fire rated features, the MB-118EI system can seamlessly blend with other Aluprof solutions.
