Fire-rated board encasement provides protection for the structural integrity of concrete, steelworks, and timber frameworks during a fire. These systems offer an effective fire protection solution for a variety of building structures. They also serve as an alternate passive fire protection solution for steel-framed structures where intumescent or cementitious coatings are unsuitable.

The installation of fire-rated boards provides a durable, smooth, and finish-ready surface, with fire stopping and resistance properties achieved without the need for additional coating. This non-combustible system delivers high levels of passive fire protection and improves the acoustic performance of buildings. Additionally, it allows for quick and cost-effective installation without special preparation of the building’s framework. Utilizing fire-rated board installations for passive fire protection has minimal impact on business operations, as they can be installed outside of working hours. These systems require minimal maintenance, can be easily repaired if damaged, and offer a versatile, affordable, and highly efficient form of passive fire protection.
