Fire Rated Partition Wall Installation

Fire partitions are essential structural elements designed to confine flames and smoke to a designated area for a predetermined duration. These internal barriers (walls, ceilings) buy critical time for safe evacuations and minimize structural damage.

Fires escalate rapidly when fueled by combustible materials and oxygen. Fire-rated partitions act as robust barriers, containing outbreaks for 30 minutes to over 4 hours, depending on the system. All our partitions comply with rigorous European standards, ensuring your building meets safety regulations.

We offer two primary fire partition categories, each serving unique protective roles:

1. Vertical Partitions: Integrated into walls to prevent fire spread between rooms. They block flames from penetrating materials like plasterboard, confining fires to their origin. 
   • Key Consideration: Gaps around pipes or wiring can compromise fire resistance. We reinforce these areas with penetration seals to maintain integrity.
   • Note: Older buildings may require upgrades to meet current fire safety codes.
     
2. Horizontal Partitions: Installed in ceilings or floors for multi-level fire containment.

We operate across Scotland and Northern England, headquartered in Glasgow. Our expert installers serve major cities, including Edinburgh, Falkirk, Dundee, Perthshire, and beyond.

Gypsum Boards: Widely favored for their fire-resistant gypsum core, these boards slow flame and smoke spread, offering crucial evacuation time. Lightweight and easy to install, they also provide thermal insulation.

Concrete: Renowned for durability, concrete’s non-combustible nature and thermal mass make it ideal for fire partitions. It withstands extreme heat without structural compromise, limiting fire migration.
