> boarded protection

Fully Stressed Steel Members will loose their structural integrity when exposed to temperatures around 550 degrees C.

Where Structural steel members are required to have fire resistance, they can be protected by insulating materials.

This can be achieved by either the sprayed methods mentioned previously or by one of the boarded solutions listed here below.

Mineral Fibre board - Ideal within concealed areas where there are no aesthetic requirements. Useful where site conditions or budget constraints prevent the use of a hard board system.

Calcium silicate / Glass reinforced board - Still relatively cost effective these can be used where a decorative finish is required.

These types of boards can be Tape & Jointed, Painted or Plastered.

High performance boards - These systems have been developed for various criteria including, high impact, sterile environments, high levels of fire resistance and high decorative finishes

All systems used by LDDFP are fully tested to BS476 - parts 20 and installed by fully trained operatives
