PREVIEW: August FOCUS ON: 5 Key Advantages of the Rytons A1® Fire-Rated Range

In today’s construction industry, adhering to fire safety regulations is not only a requirement but also a fundamental responsibility. With the emphasis on high safety standards, especially for façade design and external wall systems, it is crucial to have access to a variety of non-combustible ventilation systems.

The Rytons A1® Fire-Rated Range is specifically designed to meet these evolving needs. It offers non-combustible, metal ventilation solutions that comply with regulations and standards, simplifies installation, and supports innovative design.

Here are five key advantages that make our A1 range an excellent choice for addressing today’s construction challenges.

1> Tool-free Installation: No fixings or sealants required

Save time on-site with Rytons A1® Fire-rated Ducting Kits – delivered ready for immediate installation. With no need for additional fixings or sealants, you’ll reduce materials, speed up installation, ensure accurate alignment, and gain greater confidence in long-term performance.

2> Custom Finishes: Designed to suit every project

Functional components shouldn’t compromise design. Whether matching brickwork, cladding, or other external elements, our air bricks and grilles are available in any RAL Classic colour or architectural finish, allowing them to blend seamlessly with the façade.
