Zenova Products Further Use On TV and Film Sets at Pinewood
Studios
Zenova Group PLC (AIM: ZED) , a provider of innovative fire
safety and heat management technology and products, is pleased to
announce that its products have been used during the shoot of a
major production in the UK at Ridgeway Studios where B&TT also
provide fire protection services.
This is the first time that Zenova products have been used
successfully on a live burn set, on an upcoming big budget
production. This fire sequence was put together by one of the UK's
premier special effects houses - "Elements Special Effects".
Nick Rideout, the owner of Elements and the floor supervisor on
the day of the stunt commented:
"After initial tests we were so confident with the products that
on the last shot we really went for it; we went bigger and longer
than normal giving the director more time to ensure the perfect
shot, saving time and money for the production with added
environmental benefits. We had confidence in the Zenova products
and peace of mind with Bells and Two Tones providing our fire cover
should things get out of hand. We're glad to say the Zenova FP and
WB worked flawlessly, the director got her shot, and the Bells and
Two Tones fire crews were not needed."
Bells and Two Tones Fire and Rescue Limited ("B&TT"), the
leading fire safety provider within the UK TV and film industry,
has also supervised further fire tests conducted for a Pinewood
Studios production of a major film on set for the producers and
special effects providers to demonstrate the unique effectiveness
of its Zenova FP fire paint and WB wildfire barrier fluid
previously purchased.
B&TT carried out a real-world test of the Zenova WB and FP
products. 2 identical scaled sets were built, the sets were
constructed out of 3mm ply and 2x1 batten. They both had a pitched
roof with straw acting as a thatch.
One was treated with the Zenova FP 1 coat of primer and 2
topcoats on the inside and Zenova WB was applied via a spray on the
outside and the straw roof was also treated with the WB, this was
felt to offer the set maximum protection. The second set was left
untreated.
Each set then had a fire set inside them and left to propagate,
after 8 minutes the untreated set was reduced to a pile of ash, the
set treated with Zenova products looked untouched.
Ewan Dunsire the director of Bells and Two Tones and a
firefighter of 32 years said the test went above and beyond
expectations and commented that there was now no excuse to lose a
set here in the UK to fire ever again.
After the fire in the treated set burnt itself out without any
damage to the structure, the FP was scrapped off the inside and the
ply underneath was untouched.

Commenting on the news, Tony Crawley, Chief Executive of Zenova
Group PLC said: "TV and film is a multi-billion pound industry in
the UK alone and invests a huge amount of time and money in the
construction of TV and film sets at studios such as Pinewood. The
use of Zenova's fire safety products on TV and film sets is making
them safer from the risk of fire and helping protect the people who
work on them . We anticipate this saving significant time and money
for the industry as well as safety resulting in more significant
sales for the Company's fire safety products in this sector."
