1. What is EI fire-proof smoke exhaust duct?
Fire-proof smoke exhaust duct Also known as EI fireproof duct, this is a normal duct but is integrated with fireproof insulation, ensuring full compliance with integrity factors (E) and insulation capacity (I) in the event of a fire for a certain period of time.
The term EI is understood as follows:
E (Integrity): limit of material integrity. At that limit, the structure remains intact without collapsing, cracking, or being geometrically deformed...
I (Thermal Insulation): limit of thermal insulation capacity. The limit at which the material can still maintain its thermal insulation capacity, stabilizing the main structure of the material without being destroyed by temperature.

Disadvantages:
- Cannot be used outdoors because it is not waterproof or water resistant.
- The pipe is quite heavy so it will be more difficult to construct.
