Hi,
I have a query regarding what is considered as a non-combustible surface.
I know this may sound like an obvious question, but I think (for example) MDF is considered to be non combustible, even though (of course) it would burn if you put it on a fire.
So really I guess I'm asking if anyone knows what makes something 'non-combustible' in the eyes of the IEE.
The reason I ask is that I'm in the process of fitting new boiler, mains hot water, burglar alarm, home automation, rewire, new consumer unit - basically you name it, it's being changed!!
I'm going to end up with a lot of electrics all in a similar place (probably the loft) and rather than mount all the boxes, trunking etc.. on the brickwork it'll be easier to fix them to a piece of MDF or similar.
Oh, great forum by the way, been reading the posts here for a while.
Cheers
