hoody 2 Ceiling Speaker Accoustic Fire Hood - Single

Description

Designed to cover the rear of ceiling speakers, this fire hood is required by legislation for many new buildings. Whether legally required or not, we would recommend them as a safety precaution. Using a fire hood helps resist the spread of fire through the various floors of a building. A further advantage of this hood is that it prevents the leakage of sound upwards - potentially into another property. HOODY Speaker Hoods meet all relevant UK building and IEE Regulations. Custom designed for ceiling speakers, HOODY is Parts B,L,C and E compliant and offers fire protection for up to 66 minutes for all circular and rectangular speaker designs from 3" to 10" woofer cones. It's a requirement for all speakers that are installed below any habitable rooms and escape routes to be treated. A standard two storey house for example will require all the ground floor speaker locations to have hoods fitted. If a house has three floors the regulations require hoods to be fitted on the ground and first floor speakers. Review: Bigger than thought - Bought this thinking I needed the hoody 2 for the size, turned out the hoody 1 would of fitted, my speakers were 6" and think this is for 8 or so, anyway, it does block out an amazing amount of sound from the speakers in the room above, made a massive difference, just hope I don't need to find out how fire proof it is. Review: On the fence with this product - I used 2 of these for my very expensive Kef THX in ceiling speakers,no I don't doubt there ability as a far fire retardants,but this product is supposed improve the sonic ability of the speakers as well, which I haven't found to be the case
