Achieving both fire resistance and aesthetic appeal! Used as columns in steel-framed buildings, it features non-combustible wood as a finishing touch to create a strong presence.
"NS Guardian Core 120" is a new fire-resistant wooden material developed collaboratively by Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Engineering, Asano Non-combustible, Nikken Sekkei, and Kobayashi-Maki Design Workshop. By adopting it in areas such as entrance halls and showrooms, which serve as the "face" of the building, it creates an impressive space. It can be used in areas with strict fire resistance requirements, achieving a balance between fire resistance performance and design aesthetics. 【Features】 ■ Obtained 2-hour fire resistance certification ■ Easy application of wood in buildings with five or more stories ■ Structural design possible as a steel frame structure ■ Use of fire-resistant wood (LVL) treated with boron-based chemicals ■ Improvement of indoor thermal environment *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.
