The certified HALBE B1 magnetic frame provides preventive fire protection. It can be used to increase the safety in public and semi-public functional buildings, e. g. public authority buildings, schools, hotels or offices. The picture frame is persuant to DIN 4102-1 and helps to ensure compliance with the protection goals according to § 14 Standard Building Regulations (Musterbauordnung) as it prevents the emergence and spreading of fire and smoke. In rooms with close contact to the public it can also be equipped with safety glass. The framing or exchanging of photographs, prints or documents is carried out on the display side.
Thanks to our proven HALBE magnetic principle for opening and closing, the framing and exchanging of pictures is a fast, easy and exact affair - without tools. The frame is available in aluminum. 40 standard formats can be delivered quickly. On request, we offer individual millimetre-precise formats of up to 1200 x 1400 mm. HALBE picture safety devices to prevent falling down or unauthorized removal and opening are optional. The HALBE B1 was awarded with the Red Dot Design Award and nominated for the German Design Award.
B1 Magnetic Frame
Fire protection frame certified according to fire protection class B1
Precision in every detail
The flush 45 degree mitre is almost invisible. The unmatched precision of the Halbe Distance frame is achieved by careful handmade craftmanship.
Thought out design
To fixate the picture, the base element has protruding edges. The gaps in the corners make it easy to remove.
Durable and stable
Embossed steel angles connect the robust aluminum profile frame in all four corners to provide exceptional durability despite a frequent exchange of pictures – e. g. at schools.
Fit for every wall
To securely hang the frame at one or two points the back side has hanging holes on each side. To adjust, the straight hanging holes can be slid to the side.Tilted hanging holes serve as an additional leveling tool to level the frame horizontally even if the nails are tilted.
- Dustproof, nothing gets inside
- Adaptable insertion depth 0-9 millimetres changeable without extra charge
- Maximum insertion depth 9 millimetres (depending on the model)
- Choose between glass directly on the picture or separated by a passepartout
- All glass types except plexiglas®
- Safety glass on request
- Cut glass edges to avoid cutting or chipping
- Integrated holes for hanging at one or two points
- Straight hanging holes for adjustment by sliding to the side
- Additional tilted hanging holes for leveling tilted nails
Safe glass
The HALBE B1 can be equipped with all glass types except plexiglas®. For the Alu 8, Alu 12 and Alu 14 profiles you can also insert single-pane safety glass. Cuts when changing the frame are avoided by cut glass edges.
Flatness and insertion depth
Even contact pressure on the glass ensures proper flatness of flat pictures. Insert the glass directly on the paper or on a passe-partout to add more distance to the picture. The insertion depth can be from 0 up to 9 millimetres depending on the model without additional charge.
QUALITY CHARACTERISTICS
PRODUCT-HIGHLIGHTS
Timeless design
The HALBE B1 magnetic frame is available in four different-coloured anodized profiles – Alu 6, 8, 12 and 14. The optically neutral aluminum is an ideal match for most works of paper, e. g. photographs, prints and documents – as well as various types of interiors. We offer 40 standard formats or special sizes of up to 1200 x 1400 millimetres.
Theftproof art
The frame can be securely fixed to the wall and protected against unauthorized removal or falling down. Also it can be combined with the HALBE picture safety device BS 3 or upgraded to the BS 4.

Low flammability is safer
The HALBE B1 increases the safety of people in buildings and the people responsible for the buildings. It is particularly suitable for public and semi-public buildings such as schools, universities, higher education institutions, public authority buildings, hotels and companies. With its certified fire protection it helps to keep escape and rescue routes safe. Due its low flammability the flame extinguishes on the frame – as soon as the source of fire has been removed. The combination of the HALBE B1 frame, security glass, picture safety device 1 and picture safety device 4 provides maximum safety of people, buildings and picture.

B1 magnetic frame - certified fire protection frame
Framed certified fire protection
The B1 magnetic frame is the world's first fire protection frame certified according to building material class B1 picture frame. Especially in the design of public buildings, the topic of fire protection is becoming increasingly important - keyword DIN EN 13501-1. Our B1 fire protection frame has even passed the test according to DIN 4102-1 for low flammability without any compromises. This means: According to the report, all materials do not burn, drip or fall off. This means that HALBE already meets the requirements of tomorrow. Excellent fire protection squared - the new B1 fire protection frame.
Fire protection as an important aspect of public life
Fire protection has a long historical background. First considerations arose when people still worked and heated a lot with wood and straw. Because when a house caught fire, it usually resulted in entire streets burning down. Over the centuries, experience led to the development of the first regulations to prevent the risk of fire. Escape routes, rescue plans and extinguishing equipment were developed. Today, this is regulated by the state building code. As far as we know today, there are no legal regulations for the use of B1 fire protection frames. However, internal standard specifications prevail in companies and authorities, which set higher requirements on a voluntary basis in order to provide better or maximum fire protection contrary to the legal minimum standards. Examples include hotel chains that internally require flame-retardant wall decorations, or specifications for meeting places, the deployment of fire safety officers in schools, universities, colleges, etc. The HALBE fire protection frame therefore provides the optimum opportunity to make a contribution to safety in public buildings.
Fire protection aspects of the B1 fire protection frame
The B1 frame leads to increased safety for the users of the building and the building operator as part of his operator responsibility. Due to its very low flammability, the flame on the fire protection frame extinguishes once the source of the fire has been eliminated, thus ensuring greater safety. The HALBE B1 magnetic frame is fire protection certified according to the building material class DIN 4102-1 and thus hinders the spread of fire and smoke as well as the development of fires. The B1 fire protection frame thus helps to ensure that the protection targets are met in accordance with §14 of the model building regulations.
