A ceramic fiber board is piece of indoor material that provides both insulation from external heat and protection against thermal chemical reactions. This means that the ceramic fiber board has the ability to keep heat away as well as be fireproof. In order to maximize these safety features, the following steps need to be undertaken.
- Cleaning the Installation Area. In order to avoid any possibility of material being kindling, it is important that the installation area of the ceramic fiber board be cleaned thoroughly. The presence of any flammable material would defeat the safety features of the ceramic fiber board by becoming the thermal conductor of the conflagration.
- Using the Proper Tools and Materials. Because of the high cost in purchasing each ceramic fiber board, many avoid hiring installers and scrimp on other materials such as rods and screws. Substandard materials and haphazard installation would only waste a valuable resource such as a ceramic fiber board. It is thus mandatory to have duly licensed installers perform these services as well as the use of proper fire rated materials such as screws and rods.
- Safety Measures. A ceramic fiber board’s composition includes fibers and other materials of many shapes and sizes. Inhalation of these fibers may cause some reaction in certain individuals. To avoid this, proper safety measures must be put in place, especially during the installation period, before allowing others to use the area within the vicinity of the installed ceramic fiber board.
