Installation: FireSpan® products should be mechanically attached to horizontal and vertical mullions with architect approved insulation fasteners. Reinforce FireSpan insulation on the outer insulation surface at the safing line. Typical reinforcement members include hat channels, “L” angles, and “T” bars. Thermafiber Inc.’s patented Impasse system is designed to quickly and easily mechanically attach FireSpan insulation to curtain wall systems.
