Fire Boarding
Fire boarding is essential for protecting buildings from a fire by encasing structural steel with fire-resistant boards. These boards, such as Glasroc, are made from gypsum and glass fibres and treated with non-toxic additives. These materials retain their strength under heat, ensuring the structural framework remains stable during a fire.
Containing fire at its source and preserving the durability of load-bearing elements is crucial. Fire boarding achieves this by sealing in fire and heat with fireproof boards. Its low heat conductivity and high heat absorption help minimise temperature rise, providing critical time for evacuation and effective rescue operations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Fire boarding is the process of using fire resistant boards to encase structural steel beams or framework in order to protect them from fire. Fire boards are usually made with materials like gypsum or glass fibres which prevents the boards from falling apart when in contact with heat.
Gypsum boards, such as Glasroc, are the most commonly used fire-resistant boards. This type of boards are treated with additives to help improve their fire-resistance, which is what makes them such a popular choice.
Fire boards are relatively porous, so we recommend using a couple coats of vinyl matt emulsion paint that has been thinned down.
