Through-Wall Solutions: How Klasse Partners with SFS Manufacturers

At Klasse, we understand that precision, performance, and compliance are essential in light steel frame construction. That’s why we’ve built strong partnerships with leading SFS (Steel Framing System) providers and tailored our product range to meet the demanding requirements of SFS projects. Whether it’s for sheathing boards or insulation, Klasse offers high-quality solutions that enhance the safety, efficiency, and durability of steel frame systems.

Trusted Collaboration with Leading SFS Providers
Klasse works closely with key SFS manufacturers such as Ash & Lacy, Metsec, Frameclad, and Steel Formed Sections. These longstanding relationships are built on mutual trust and a shared commitment to product performance and regulatory compliance. Our materials are compatible with their systems and are actively tested and approved within them. This collaboration ensures seamless integration, removes ambiguity during specification, and gives confidence to architects, designers, and contractors alike.

A Product Range Designed for SFS Excellence
Klasse offers a robust and reliable portfolio of sheathing boards and insulation products that are ideally suited for steel frame applications:

  • Klasse G-board: A high-performance external score and snap gypsum sheathing board that combines excellent fire resistance with strength and stability. Engineered to handle the rigours of both construction and lifetime use in demanding environments.
  • Klasse C-board: A non-combustible cement-based sheathing solution, known for its durability, moisture resistance and ease of handling. It offers a versatile option for projects requiring enhanced resistance to impact and weather exposure.
  • KlasseROCK: A stone wool rainscreen insulation, KlasseROCK provides outstanding fire safety (Euroclass A1), thermal performance, and acoustic control, making it an ideal accompaniment to our boards in facade systems.

Rigorous Through-Wall Testing with SFS Partners 

Klasse actively collaborate with our SFS partners to conduct full-scale through-wall fire testing, evaluating how the sheathing boards perform as part of a complete wall system.

Non-load bearing (BS EN1364-1) and load bearing (BS EN1365-1) tests assess flame spread, heat transfer, and structural integrity under realistic fire conditions. These tests are essential for confirming that our products, such as G-board and C-board, enhance the overall fire performance of SFS wall build-ups.

By aligning our testing with SFS manufacturers directly, we can eliminate guesswork and ensure you have confidence in your specifications.

Installation Made Easy
Klasse boards are designed with installation efficiency in mind. Lightweight, robust, and easy to cut and fix, they integrate seamlessly into steel frame constructions, helping contractors meet tight build schedules without compromising on performance or quality.

At Klasse, we don’t just supply products, we support the system. From early-stage design to on-site installation, our focus is always on adding value to SFS projects and ensuring compliance, safety, and simplicity throughout.
