Passive fire protection for commercial roofs with PV

Protect the roof. Protect the business.

A PV fire should not become a building fire. AllShield BarrierSheet helps prevent fire from spreading into the roof assembly.

For Roof Owners with PV for Insurers and Risk Engineers

FM Approved passive fire protection for roofs with solar panels

Business continuity starts at the roof

Good design, quality components, inspection and maintenance can reduce the probability of a PV fire but they cannot eliminate it.

The next question is therefore just as important: What happens if a fire does start?
Insurance can cover the financial damage. It cannot prevent business interruption, lost production or lost customers. AllShield develops passive fire protection systems designed to limit fire spread and help prevent the underlying roof assembly from becoming part of the fire.

AllShield BarrierSheet

FM Approved lightweight Fire board for roof-PV assemblies

AllShield BarrierSheet is a 2.5 mm lightweight, A1 non-combustible cementitious Fire board installed beneath the waterproofing membrane. At approximately 3 kg/m², it adds minimal dead load and can be used in new-build, refurbishment and existing-roof projects.
AllShield BarrierSheet is FM Approved under FM 4470 and FM 4478 for specified roof and roof-PV assemblies listed in RoofNav. In independent ZAG fire tests on roof-PV configurations, it prevented direct flame penetration into deeper roof layers.

Protect the building. Protect business continuity.

A fire on a commercial roof can have consequences far beyond the cost of repairing the roof. If fire spreads into the roof assembly and the building, the result can be months of business interruption, lost production, disrupted supply chains and lost customers.

That is why AllShield focuses on consequence limitation. Prevent ignition where possible. But design the roof so that when ignition does occur, the fire has less opportunity to develop into a major property loss.

The electrical fault may start the fire. The roof determines what happens next.

Our formulations are free from polymers and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), making them safe for humans and the environment.

Designed for complex roof build-ups

Seamlessly integrated under or over membranes, with or without PV systems.

Environmental responsibility

Low CO₂ footprint, REACH-compliant and VOC-free.

Durability

Extends the lifespan of roofs and building materials; protects against UV, acids and mechanical wear.

Certified and tested

AllShield technologies are supported by independent testing and approvals including FM Approvals, Efectis, Kiwa-BDA and ZAG.
Our FM Approved solutions cover FM 4470, FM 4478, FM 4482 and FM 4484 applications for roof assemblies with and without PV systems.
