Fireproof Board — Procurement Guide
Fireproof boards are used for compartmentation, shafts, and high-demand linings. Confirm A1 reaction-to-fire, system test reports, installation build-up, and local code (EN / ASTM / regional) before sourcing.
Four checks before you buy
A short framework for buyers who are new to this material
Fire Classification & System Reports
Verify that A1 claims come from independent labs and that the full wall/shaft system has a published test report — board-only metrics do not replace system fire resistance.
Thickness & Build-up
6–15 mm is typical; layers, stud type, insulation, and seals must match the manufacturer system table — changes require re-evaluation.
Moisture & Site Conditions
Basements and tunnels need confirmed moisture rating and storage rules; keep boards dry and flat on site to avoid edge damage.
Brand & Supply
Prefer brands with published global system documentation and local technical support; confirm lead time, accessories, and warranty scope.
