Driving innovation through data and design
The D-Lab is Tenmat’s dedicated R&D and product development centre. Here, our engineers and material scientists work at the cutting edge of passive fire protection—developing new materials, refining product designs, and conducting rigorous in-house testing. The D-Lab enables us to accelerate innovation cycles and respond rapidly to emerging industry needs.

Fire safety testing and installation training
Officially opened by Mayor Andy Burnham in 2024, the F-Lab is Tenmat’s fire safety testing and training facility. It features realistic build mock-ups and a calibrated indicative scale furnace – simulating the pressures and temperatures experienced in real fire scenarios. The F-Lab also serves as a hands-on training academy, where contractors, installers, and specifiers can gain practical experience in correct installation techniques and system integration. Explore how we’re shaping the future of fire protection with our passive fire protection products and materials.
