Structural Fire Boarding & Intumescent Board Systems
O U R O F F E R I N G
Designed to protect structural steelwork, maintain fire resistance, and help buildings meet required fire safety and compliance standards.
Reliable Fire Protection for Structural Steel.
Structural fire boarding systems provide a proven method of protecting steelwork during a fire, helping buildings maintain their stability for longer and supporting compliance with fire safety requirements. Suitable for both new-build and refurbishment projects, these systems are widely specified across commercial, industrial and residential developments.
Our experienced team installs high-performance fire protection board systems designed to safeguard critical structural elements and help achieve the required fire resistance ratings for your project.
What Are Fire Protection Boarding Systems?
Fire protection boarding systems are specially manufactured fire-resistant boards installed around structural steelwork to create a protective barrier against extreme heat. By enclosing steel columns, beams and other load-bearing components, the system helps delay temperature rise during a fire.
As steel heats up, it gradually loses strength and load-bearing capacity. Fire protection boards act as an insulating layer, slowing this process and providing valuable additional time for evacuation, emergency response and fire suppression activities.
These systems are commonly installed during the construction phase but can also be incorporated into existing buildings where upgraded fire protection measures are required.

Intumescent Board Fire Protection
Intumescent board systems provide an additional level of passive fire protection through the use of specialist materials that react when exposed to high temperatures.
In the event of a fire, the board expands to create an insulating char layer around the steel substrate. This reaction helps reduce heat transfer and slows the rate at which structural elements reach critical temperatures.
Intumescent board systems are often selected where a combination of fire performance, durability and aesthetic finish is required.
Fire Resistance Performance
Depending on the specification and design requirements of the project, fire protection boarding systems can be installed to achieve a range of fire resistance periods. These systems help prevent premature structural failure by delaying the effects of intense heat on steelwork, allowing occupants more time to evacuate and emergency services more time to respond.
Every project is assessed individually to determine the most suitable fire protection solution and required fire rating.
