Fire Class B & A – What You Should Know About Fireproof Mats

Overview of Fire Classes

Fire classes describe how materials react to heat and flames. In Europe, the following classification applies:

• Class A – Non-combustible: Materials such as concrete, stone, or glass. They do not contribute to fire development and are considered absolutely safe.
• Class B – Flame-retardant: Materials do not ignite easily and contribute only minimally to the spread of fire. FireMat mats consist of high-quality plastics that are flame-retardant and therefore ideally suited for everyday use.

Class B materials are particularly practical for the household, kitchen, office, and workshop: they combine safety with flexibility and easy handling.

FireMat – Tested Fireproof Mats

All FireMat products meet the requirements of Fire Class B and have additionally been tested according to DIN EN ISO 11925-2, a recognized standard for ignitability and fire behavior.

The mats reliably protect your surfaces from:

• Heat generation from pots and pans
• Short-term exposure to flames
• Flying sparks during workshop or craft work
• Thanks to these properties, FireMat mats are the perfect solution for the kitchen, household, office, and hobby areas.
