With fire safety standards remaining a top priority, specifiers, installers and end users need fire-resistant solutions they can count on. In the latest instalment of our Meet the Manufacturers series, the cutting-edge technology behind the ARBOShield Pro Fire-Resistant Façade System.

Part of Carlisle Construction Materials, ARBO is a dedicated sealant manufacturer, and one of the longest-established names in UK construction materials.

The company’s newest range, the ARBOShield Pro Fire-Resistant Façade System, combines cutting-edge technology and unmatched performance into a cohesive range of innovative products which not only meet but exceed regulatory requirements across different UK jurisdictions. 

Contractors, installers and end users alike enjoy peace of mind from the Class A fire safety rating on the ARBOShield Pro breather membrane, AVCL and self-adhesive EPAM perimeter seals. 

In addition, the ARBOShield Pro breather membrane and EPAM seal are also W1 rated for water penetration, bolstering the overall weather performance of the façade by delivering best-in-class water resistance. 

Designed to be self-adhesive, the ARBOShield Pro EPAM seal is a market-first time and labour-saving solution, speeding up installation and removing the need for wasteful cartridges. 

The entire ARBOShield Pro Fire-Resistant System is suitable for use in both refurb and new build projects across commercial, industrial, residential and retail environments, delivering weatherproofing and fire protection to the full range of construction projects.
