ALFA FR | Fire-Rated

Built with a high-performance fiberglass-reinforced core, ALFA FR meets the rigorous NFPA 285 fire safety standard—offering an elevated level of protection for mid- to high-rise buildings and code-sensitive jurisdictions.

While maintaining the same sleek finish options and design flexibility as the standard core, ALFA FR delivers added fire resistance unmatched by most phenolic panels on the market.

ALFA FR is specifically engineered for NFPA 285 compliance, ideal for:

  • High-rise and mid-rise structures.
  • Mixed-used and multi-occupancy developments.
  • Government and civic facilities with strict code requirements.
