Different functions
Protecting steel and maintaining a fire-separating wall or floor serve different purposes. Required performance must be assessed for the actual building.
The complete system matters
Boards, fixings, joints, coatings and connections work together. Follow the documented application of the selected system. An extra coat of paint is not proof of fire performance. Coordinate sealing around new pipes and cables and keep relevant product and installation records.
Your checklist
- Establish required performance
- Coordinate junctions and penetrations
- Keep product records
