Optifire™ is a unique product identification system inherent within all Firetherm Coated, Fire-Stopping Products. The system is based upon Ultra Violet/Laser Indication Technology. We believe this to be the greatest step forward in Fire Protection products in decades.

How does it work?

By simply applying a UV light source to the surface of the coated product, a colour will be revealed. This colour will be unique to our product range and will change according to the specification of the products supplied. It will work along side our current QC and ISO control systems.

What are the benefits of Optifire™?

Instant recognition of installed product by third party accreditation/Inspection companies such as Firas, British Research Establishment, Building Control and Independent Inspection/Fire-Risk assessment companies.

Lifetime identification ensures that any future repairs or upgrades can be carried out using the same exceptionally well tested and specified system.

Why use Optifire™?

§    Assurance of product and system integrity in terms of supply, usage and maintenance.

§    Guarantees to installers that distributors are delivering the specified Firetherm and Certifire Approved Product they have requested.

§    Helps Fire Risk Assessors to ensure the correct Fire-stopping has been installed hence reducing the risks and liabilities taken.

§    Building Control often request site specific fire testing is carried out. Finally they can be assured that the product they have witnessed tested is the product installed and not an inferior or perhaps even an untested product

§    Insurance companies may offer discounts as they now have an assurance, that the recognised Firetherm and Warrington Certifire approved product, truly is the product which has been installed. Certifire approved products are listed publicly but until now it has been almost impossible to recognise different manufacturers products once installed.
