Fire Safety & Flame Retardancy

Champion structures are engineered with high-performance flame-retardant materials and structural safeguards to ensure maximum occupant safety and asset protection.

The Priority

Engineered for Thermal Resistance

In industrial and commercial environments, fire safety is non-negotiable. Champion utilizes advanced membrane technology combined with precision-engineered steel frames to meet the most stringent global fire codes. Our fabric covers are inherently self-extinguishing, meaning they will not support a flame once the ignition source is removed.

We integrate fire-specific features into the building's architecture, from smoke venting systems to localized fire breaks, ensuring compliance with local building authorities and insurance requirements.

Flame-Retardant PVC

Membranes from 610 up to 1450 gsm treated with advanced flame inhibitors.

🛡

Steel Fire Behavior

Hot-dip galvanized steel to ISO 1461 maintains structural stability under thermal stress.

Safety Features

Comprehensive Fire Protection

Our approach to fire safety encompasses material science, structural design, and integrated active systems.

Self-Extinguishing Tech

Our PVC and PVDF membranes are formulated to stop burning instantly when the fire source is removed, preventing flame spread across the roof.

Smoke Ventilation

Automatic and manual smoke vents can be integrated into the ridge to clear hazardous fumes and heat during an emergency event.

Sprinkler Compatibility

Truss frames are engineered to support the weight of wet-pipe or dry-pipe sprinkler systems, ensuring immediate fire suppression capability.

Fire Break Zones

For massive structures, we can design specialized fire breaks within the membrane system to contain incidents to a single building bay.

Code Compliance

Every structure is designed to meet specific regional fire safety regulations, including NFPA in the USA and EN standards in Europe.

Low Toxicity Liners

Optional interior liners and insulation are selected for their low smoke emission and non-toxic properties during thermal decomposition.
