B1-/A2-Classification
Flame-retardant surfaces with certified safety
Upon request, we can also manufacture all our surfaces and decors on backing panels in accordance with fire safety class B1 – flame-retardant (excluding stone panels). This allows us to offer you not only a wide range of designs, but also a high level of safety for use in demanding construction and interior design projects.
The imi coating compound we use meets the requirements of performance class A2-s1, d0 in accordance with DIN EN 15824:2009. This classification corresponds to Group A – non-combustible building materials – and guarantees that our products comply with strict fire safety and security standards.
Whether in public buildings, retail spaces, hotels, or high-end residential projects—our flame-retardant surfaces combine aesthetic design with technical reliability. This gives you creative freedom without compromising on safety.
With imi products, you can rely on tested quality, modern design, and the highest fire safety standards—perfect for all projects where safety and style are equally important.
Since 2000, imi surface design has been consistently setting new trends, offering a wide range of high-quality design options with its decorative surfaces.

From surface finishes in concrete, rust, metal, and reclaimed wood to asphalt, monyt, sandstone, and limestone, all the way to marble. For that special touch, imi-wave is available - its 3-D texture combines coolness and elegance.
