Description:
The Astro Lumi Covers are fire rated covers or fire canopies designed to fire rate recessed luminaire or fluorescent module fixtures and reinstate the performance of ceilings when penetrated by recessed lights. They help to maintain the fire protection performance of the element protected by the ceiling preventing or delaying the spread of fire.
The covers are available to suit all common 600 x 600 mm and 1200 x 600 mm fixtures. The covers are ready to install, with no assembly required, and can even be retrofitted into position due to their flexible and durable design. They can be fitted from above or below the ceiling through the diagonal in the ceiling grid, or folded for tight ceiling spaces. The insulating nature of the covers also offers significant thermal and acoustic benefits to the ceiling system.

Maintenance:
All interested parties, designer, specifier, main contractor and specialist installers should provide access to allow the fire stopping seals to be regularly inspected and maintained, as well as records kept of such maintenance at minimum periods of 12 months, as required by the Regulatory Reform Order, and repaired if necessary. Reference should be made to ASFP TGD 17 Code of Practice for the Installation and Inspection of Fire Stopping.
Competency:
It is vital that those entrusted to design or install a fire stopping product have the necessary levels of competence to undertake the task professionally and thoroughly. The level of competency required will be commensurate with the expected complexity of the building. All designers must eliminate, reduce or control foreseeable risks that may arise during installation, construction or maintenance when preparing or modifying designs. Clients should ensure that the principal designer and principal contractor carry out their duties under CDM regulations. The ASFP foundation course in passive fire protection provides essential knowledge as part of demonstrating competency and understanding in this key fire protection specialism.
