Rigid Board Fire Protection Systems
Rigid board fire protection systems can offer up to 240 minutes fire protection.
The system involves attaching rigid board around steel columns and beams, forming a box. This system will protect all columns and beams and is secured by using either noggins or mechanical fixing.
Fire Management Ltd uses the following board fire protection systems:
- Knauf
- British Gypsum
- Promat
- Lafarge
For timber frame buildings, the structural frame fire protection, if needed, will often be provided by a board system, for example, plaster board. Most manufacturers of these products provide guidance on their installation.
