Nu-Wool U382 Firewall System
Looking for unparalleled fire resistance combined with sound control and reduced air infiltration for your multifamily building? Here is your answer: the Nu-Wool U382 Firewall System. Southland Insulation is excited to offer this outstanding product to builders throughout our region.
Nu-Wool’s UL-classified U382 Firewall is fully load bearing and offers two and a half or three hours of protection that costs less and saves more than other solutions on the market. The U382 meets the requirements of firewall assemblies, and the independently loaded double wall assembly maintains its integrity beyond the nominal one-hour per side, giving the U382 a two-hour and thirty-minute rating with only one layer of 5/8 inch type C gypsum board on each side. A 3-hour rating is achieved by using 2 layers of gypsum board on each side.
Why the Nu-Wool U382 Firewall System is the Best Choice
Through the performance of the UL-U382 design and Nu-Wool WALLSEAL Fire & Sound Cellulose Insulation, your building will be safe and sound. Here’s how:
Safety and security are top of mind. Nu-Wool WALLSEAL Fire & Sound Cellulose Insulation used in Nu-Wool’s proprietary UL-U382 firewall design offers unparalleled fire resistance and is one of the few construction materials used in multifamily buildings that is treated for fire resistance. The U382 firewall system is an industry-leading design that provides protection in the case of a fire. Plus, the fire retardants used in Nu-Wool insulation products last the life of the structure. Tests by scientists and technicians at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Tennessee Technological University, Allied Signal corp., US Borax Corp., Underwriters Laboratories, and United States Testing Company, found no sign of “disappearing fire retardants.”
Nu-Wool’s U382 firewall system delivers quiet spaces, regardless of what the neighbors are up to.
Made from recycled paper content and treated with a naturally occurring fire retardant, Nu-Wool WALLSEAL Fire & Sound Cellulose Insulation is an eco-friendly insulation. It’s engineered to achieve peak performance standards without compromising on its sustainable makeup.
Nu-Wool WALLSEAL Fire & Sound Cellulose Insulation can prevent air infiltration, as the insulation fills the entire firewall cavity, eliminating voids and air pockets common with most other firewall designs. Another bonus of the U382 firewall system is its ability to prevent odor transmission between units.
