The next-generation ROCKWOOL FirePro® fire-stopping range is now available at FireSealsDirect, offering future-ready fire protection solutions well ahead of the EN fire-resistance standards coming into effect on 2 September 2029.
Future‑Ready Fire Protection
To help customers get ahead of the regulatory changes, the new FirePro® range has already been tested and classified to the EN requirements (including BS EN 1366-4, BS EN 1366-3 and BS EN 13501-2) and is third-party certified under the UL‑EU Mark.
This means the range is fully aligned with the standards that will become mandatory in 2029, giving you confidence that the products you specify today will remain compliant well into the future.
What’s New to the FirePro® Range
The next-generation FirePro® products have been developed with:
Improved formulas designed to meet the demands of modern construction
Rebranded packaging to make identification quicker and clearer
New product names to ensure the correct, fully certified solutions are specified and installed
These updates make it easy to choose the right products, stay compliant and keep your projects running smoothly.
FirePro® CB50 Ablative Coated Batt FirePro CB50 is compatible with existing FirePro systems and existing ROCKWOOL accessories typically used with coated batt solutions.
As part of this forward‑looking approach, the previous FirePro® range will be gradually phased out in favour of the EN‑classified products, with ROCKWOOL aiming to discontinue the range by 1st June 2026.
We’ll continue fulfilling existing orders and supporting ongoing projects while stocks last.
