Fire Board Steel Protection
Fire-rated Board systems
Provide a robust and reliable method of protecting structural steel in buildings where high-performance fire resistance is essential. Australian Fire Rating (AFR) supplies and installs fire board cladding systems that deliver excellent thermal insulation while helping projects achieve required Fire Resistance Levels and comply with NCC and Building Code of Australia requirements.
Fire-resistant boards act as a protective barrier around structural steel members, limiting heat transfer during a fire and delaying temperature rise within the steel. By maintaining the integrity of load-bearing elements for longer periods, these systems contribute significantly to occupant safety and evacuation and minimise the risk of structural collapse during fire events.
How Fire Board Systems Protect Steel
Ideal for Architectural and Exposed Applications
Fire board cladding is often selected for projects where durability, clean finishes, and concealed fire protection are important. These systems can be used on exposed steel columns, beams, partitions, bulkheads, and other structural elements where a neat appearance is sought. They are suitable for commercial buildings, public facilities, industrial developments, and refurbishment projects requiring reliable long-term performance.
