Enhancing Home Safety: Building Materials & Electrical Appliances

Recently, the fires ravaging the United States have been truly heartbreaking. Many people have lost their homes in this disaster.

We should pay attention to fire safety and try to keep high-quality fire extinguishers at home in case of emergency. Especially for those who live in dry climates, they should pay more attention to the selection of materials for home decoration and building. Try to choose materials with formal fire resistance certification, which can effectively slow down the spread of the fire and save more time for escape.

Our ASA floor has passed various smoke and ignition tests and obtained an authoritative SGS test report. Its fire resistance level is Bfl-S1. Bfl-S1 is a level of fire performance in the European standard. It requires that when the material burns under specific conditions, its flame propagation speed is strictly controlled and the smoke release is kept at a low level. This means that our products have shown excellent fire retardant properties in the fire test and can effectively slow down the spread of the fire.

In addition, household appliances are also a fire hazard. In daily life, when household appliances are in operation, you'd better pay attention to them and ensure they are utilized within a designated safe range. When traveling with your family or when no one is at home for a period of time, you should cut off the power supply of non-essential electrical appliances, as well as natural gas. Be careful not to place flammable materials such as paper towels and fabrics around household appliances. If some household appliances are about to exceed the service life requirements, they should be disposed of as soon as possible according to the instructions and replaced with new products in time. In particular, some plugs and wires may age and break after long-term use, which is very dangerous. They should be replaced in time too. It is recommended that you check the condition of household appliances regularly.

I hope all of us can learn more about the fire prevention knowledge of various building materials. Thereby build a safer and more reliable home for ourselves.
