Macalloy Strengthens Commitment to Fire Safety with Interact Fire Systems Partnership
AIA-Approved Presentation Marks New Milestone for Fire Protection Awareness
Macalloy is pleased to announce the latest development in its ongoing collaboration with Interact Fire Systems: a dedicated presentation on the Interact Fire Protection System for Macalloy Tension Rods has now been approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) for presentation within the United States.
This approval represents an important step forward in raising awareness of advanced fire protection solutions for structural tension rod systems across international markets. As architects, engineers and contractors continue to place greater emphasis on building safety, the AIA-approved presentation will help educate the design community on the benefits and performance of the Interact Fire Protection System when used with Macalloy tension rods.

Exclusive Partnership Delivering Proven Fire Protection
Macalloy has enjoyed an exclusive business relationship with Interact Fire Systems for a number of years, with Interact supplying specialist fire protection solutions designed for Macalloy tension rod installations.
Fire protection is now a key consideration in modern construction, with increasing focus on building safety and regulatory compliance. As awareness continues to grow across the industry, architects and clients are seeking proven fire-tested solutions that meet project requirements without compromising design. For tension rod systems, the ability to combine structural performance, architectural aesthetics and effective fire protection has become an important factor in project specification.

Patented Innovation Across Europe
A particularly significant achievement for Interact Fire Systems has been the successful securing of both UK and European patents for its fire protection technology. The European patent protection now extends across more than 30 European countries, demonstrating the innovation and technical excellence behind the system.
The patent recognition not only protects Interacts unique technology but also reinforces confidence among designers and clients that they are specifying a thoroughly engineered and independently recognised fire protection solution.
