The story behind the product | |

Elementary volumes stacked along the cable create micro architectures in shape of pendants. To recall the initial inspiration, the composition is then closed at the end with a butterfly swirl.
Bon Ton is an iconic collection of lamps inspired by the world of jewelry and elegant femininity. The iconic feature of the product is the curl of the closure, reminiscent of an earring.

TENMAT offers a unique range of flexible, lightweight and ready-to-use products and solutions for the most demanding firestopping applications.
Their state-of-the-art, in-house R&D Laboratory and ISO 9001:2015 accredited production facilities have been developing and manufacturing technically superior passive fire protection products and intumescent materials for over 100 years .
Intumescence is the process or act of swelling. Tenmat covers react in a fire by expanding and forming a thicker and more insulating product. The expanded fibers will fill up the entire cover and seal off the gap left by the molten metal fixture. The picture below shows a piece of Tenmat Firefly intumescent material before and after exposure to heat. The material is heat activated at a temperature of around 400°F and expands to form a highly insulative tough char.

Every time you cut a hole in the ceiling to install a recessed light, junction box or in-ceiling speaker you create a free passage for fire and smoke. Almost every type of building from apartment buildings and assisted living facilities to hospitals, schools, dormitories, commercial buildings and even your home will have some form of fire rated walls, floors and ceilings and require proper passive fire protection. | Recessed lights in ceilings are widely used in residential and commercial buildings. Each ceiling is subject to fire regulations and where applicable the ceiling construction needs to be fire-rated. However, once a hole is made in the ceiling for recessed lighting, the integrity of the construction and its ability to perform in a fire is reduced significantly. Code officials and lawmakers have recognized this fire hazard and the potential risks it poses to life and property. The Building Code therefore requires recessed fixtures to be enclosed with a fire barrier. | |
Benefit to using Tenmat vs
building Drywall or Sheetrock Boxes around the Fixture
| |
|
Tenmat Fire Barriers are extremely easy to install, lightweight and flexible.
Contractors and Builders using Tenmat Fire Rated Enclosures experience significant labor savings as they are able to install the lights and covers faster than custom-building conventional drywall boxes.
Building Drywall or Sheetrock Boxes around light fixtures is the old-fashioned method of trying to fire rate light fixtures. This method was used as no ready to install products were available on the market. Today Tenmat’s pre-approved and ready-to-use covers set the high standard in passive fire protection.
In addition to the benefits mentioned above the Tenmat cover eliminates the dust caused when cutting the boards to build a fire rated light box. The light fixtures are often installed in ceilings where pipes, conduits, wiring and joists are in close proximity. The flexible cover makes this type of installation easy.
Each Tenmat cover is manufactured to the highest quality control standards so you can be sure that the cover will always do the job for which it is intended.
