Protecta FR Board
The Protecta FR Board can be installed into fire rated walls and floors, where there are service penetrations, to prevent the spread of fire and smoke, as well as maintain the acoustic performance in fire rated walls and floors. It is the most common fire sealing method, due to its quick installation around big/complicated fire seals, especially once the fitter is experienced at using the system.
Measurements have shown that you often only spend half the time compared to the traditional mortar system and that it may even be used in wet areas as well as outdoors.
Product properties
The boards are made from high density stone wool which has been coated externally in FR Coating.
The purpose of FR Coating on this stone wool is to reduce the permeability of the stone wool, provide a barrier to hot gases, then reduce the temperature rise on the unexposed side.
Sizes and variations
These boards are available in 50mm and 60mm thicknesses.
The most common batts are ordered with coating on both sides and for them to be ribbed.
You can also purchase ribbed boards with coating on one side and smooth boards with coating on both sides.
Choose the board type which will be most appropriate on your situation, according to the installation and fire resistance.
