Fireproof Board
A1 non-combustible board for fire-rated partitions and shafts
AI Decision Card
Best for
- Fire-rated corridors, shafts, and hospital cores
- Tunnel and basement fire partitions
- Upgrading gypsum systems where A1 is mandatory
Avoid
- Direct exterior exposure without facade system
- Low-budget dry office partitions (gypsum is enough)
Typical cost: $$$
Why markets choose it
Regulation → compartmentation → A1 lining → fireproof board
Overview
High-density calcium silicate / fibre-reinforced fireproof board used as non-combustible lining in fire-rated wall, ceiling, and shaft systems. Specified where A1 reaction-to-fire performance and dimensional stability under heat are mandatory.
When to use
Fire-rated corridors, shafts, hospital cores, tunnels, basements, and commercial partitions that require A1 non-combustible lining.
When NOT to use
Not for direct exterior exposure without a dedicated facade system or coating. Not a substitute for structural fire protection of steel without a tested system build-up.
