Vida d’Chette - Fire Walls

Homii, a renowned developer in the construction industry, has always been committed to creating innovative and secure living spaces. Their latest high-rise development, Vida d'Chette, situated in the heart of a bustling metropolis, showcases their dedication to both architectural excellence and safety. To ensure the utmost protection for residents and surrounding areas, Homii has partnered with Aertec, a leading provider of advanced construction materials, to implement their cutting-edge AAC (Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) Perimeter Fire Walls.
Besides the superior fire resistance properties of Aertec AAC, the complexity of this application coupled with the restricted permissible space, made it impossible for any other material to be used. AAC is a very workable material and can be shaped into any form using simple hand tools. This allowed the blocks to be shaped around the steel structure and in particular the cross bracing, providing the required fire protection.

Perimeter firewalls play a critical role in modern urban planning, especially in high-rise constructions. These walls act as barriers against the spread of fire and smoke, offering valuable time for evacuation and preventing the rapid escalation of flames within a building. Understanding the importance of this component, Homii has chosen Aertec AAC Perimeter Fire Walls due to their exceptional fire resistance properties and durability.

One of the key advantages of Aertec AAC Perimeter Fire Walls is their ability to withstand high temperatures for extended periods. In the unfortunate event of a fire, these walls serve as an effective fire containment system, preventing the flames from spreading to other parts of the building or neighboring structures. Additionally, they significantly reduce the transmission of heat, helping to protect adjacent areas and ensuring the safety of residents, emergency responders, and the wider community.
