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-Magnetrahmen – zertifizierter Brandschutzrahmen
Gerahmter zertifizierter Brandschutz
Der B1-Magnetrahmen ist der weltweit erste, nach Baustoffklasse B1 zertifizierte Bilderrahmen. Gerade bei der Gestaltung öffentlicher Gebäude erlangt das Thema Brandschutz immer höhere Wichtigkeit – Stichwort DIN EN 13501-1. Unser B1-Brandschutzrahmen hat selbst die Prüfung nach DIN 4102-1 auf Schwerentflammbarkeit ohne Abstriche bestanden. Das bedeutet: Sämtliche Materialien sind laut Bericht nicht brennend, abtropfend beziehungsweise abfallend. Damit erfüllt HALBE schon heute die Anforderungen von morgen. Ausgezeichneter Brandschutz zum Quadrat – der neue Brandschutzrahmen B1.
Brandschutz als wichtiger Aspekt des öffentlichen Lebens
Der Brandschutz hat einen langen historischen Hintergrund. Erste Überlegungen entstanden, als man noch viel mit Holz und Stroh arbeitete und heizte. Denn wenn ein Haus Feuer fing, hatte es meist zur Folge, dass ganze Straßenzüge brannten. Im Laufe der Jahrhunderte entwickelten sich aus den Erfahrungen heraus erste Vorschriften, um der Brandgefahr vorzubeugen. Fluchtwege, Rettungspläne und Löscheinrichtungen entstanden. Geregelt wird dies heute durch die Landesbauordnung. Nach heutigem Kenntnisstand gibt es von rechtlicher Seite keine Vorschriften für den Einsatz von B1-Brandschutzrahmen. Allerdings herrschen in Unternehmen und Behörden interne Standardvorgaben, die auf freiwilliger Basis höhere Anforderungen stellen, um entgegen der gesetzlichen Mindeststandards für einen besseren, beziehungsweise maximalen Brandschutz zu sorgen. Als Beispiele wären Hotelketten zu nennen, die intern schwer entflammbare Wanddekoration fordern, oder Vorgaben an Versammlungsstätten, der Einsatz von Brandschutzbeauftragten in Schulen, Universitäten, Hochschulen etc. Der HALBE Brandschutzrahmen liefert also die optimale Möglichkeit, etwas zur Sicherheit in öffentlichen Gebäuden beizutragen.
Brandschutztechnische Aspekte des B1-Brandschutzrahmens
Der B1 Magnetrahmen führt zu einer erhöhten Sicherheit für die Nutzer des Gebäudes und des Gebäudebetreibers im Rahmen seiner Betreiberverantwortung. Durch seine sehr schwere Entflammbarkeit erlischt die Flamme am Brandschutzrahmen nach Beseitigung der Brandherde und sorgt somit für eine höhere Sicherheit. Der HALBE B1 Magnetrahmen ist Brandschutz zertifiziert nach der Baustoffklasse DIN 4102-1 und behindert somit die Ausbreitung von Feuer und Rauch, sowie die Entstehung von Bränden. Der Brandschutzrahmen B1 hilft damit der Sicherstellung der Schutzziele gemäß §14 Musterbauordnung.
