Heat reflection, preventing heat radiation from passing through and also sending the heat reflected back into the burning area.

Physical barrier against flames and hot gases, which by convection will tend to rise in front of the screen and will be affected by the wind dynamics.

Air suction towards the hot area from the cold area, produced by the depression of the rising convection current. This helps to stop the fire spreading under the barrier.

Lightness. The material is light enough to be transported and installed in mountainous terrain. It is also compact.

Strength. The screen or barrier offers high resistance to three basic factors: heat - withstanding high temperatures without losing its qualities; flames - it is fireproof and does not catch fire when it comes into contact with flames; or when mechanically stressed. Furthermore, its installation systems are sufficiently stable, mainly against the wind.

Adaptability. The material used is easy to adapt to uneven, broken land, often rocky and overgrown.

Combinations or sandwiches of artificial mineral fibres (AMF) and sheets of aluminium, with a weight that normally varies from 750 to 1000 g/m2.

Layers joined mechanically (sewn).

With fixing devices built-in.
Average installation performance: from 1 to 3 m/min person, with no prepared infrastructures; and more than 5 m/min person on preventive infrastructures (steel facing or paving at ground level, for example).

Normal sizes:
between 6 and 10 m in length and between 1.5 and 2.0 m in height, per section, with a weight of less than 20 kg/u.
