COVERFLAM®, A PATENTED INCOMBUSTIBLE COVER FOR THE PROTECTION OF artWORKS
The smallest, lightest and most accessible works will generally be moved. On the other hand, works impossible to move. Protective covers are then necessary and the best option is tailor-made protection. The patented Coverflam® protective covers, perfectly adapted to the work to be saved, are put in place during the execution of the Cultural Property Safeguarding Plan (PSBC).
A good approach to risk management involves identifying priority works and ensuring their safety, in particular by means of protection against fire, water, soot, heat and smoke.
The protection levels of our non-combustible Coverflam® covers (M0) are evaluated and developed by our R&D unit. Specific or standardized small-scale or large-scale test benches were used. Our partners are approved fire reaction and resistance laboratories such as the CSTB or the FCBA. They are made of non-combustible fibers (glass, silica – Veriflam®), aluminum and fire-retardant water-repellent materials such as silicone. Our covers have passed the Oddy test.
