Frequently asked questions

How is fire-rated plasterboard different from standard plasterboard?

Fire-rated plasterboard typically contains glass fibres or other reinforcements for enhanced fire protection. It's often identified by a pink or red coloured face paper.

How are fire ratings classified?

Fire resistance is classified in the UK according to Euroclass system (BS EN 13501-1). Fire-rated plasterboard typically achieves a Class A1 (No contribution to fire) or Class A2 (Low contribution to fire) rating.

Where is fire-rated plasterboard typically used?

Common applications include corridors, stairwells, fire separations, and around boilers/plant rooms.

What fire resistance ratings are available?

Fire-rated plasterboard is rated in minutes (30, 60, 90, 120) indicating the time it can withstand a fire without collapsing.

Which UK building regulation applies to fire resistance?

Fire safety in buildings is covered by Approved Document B (Volume 1 & 2) of the Building Regulations. This document specifies minimum fire resistance requirements for various building elements.

How do fire-resistant boards help contractors achieve building regulations?

By using fire-rated plasterboard in accordance with Approved Document B, contractors can help ensure their projects meet fire safety regulations and contribute to the overall fire compartmentation strategy.

How is the surface spread of flame classified for plasterboard, and why is it important?

The surface spread of flame classification, evaluated under the BS 476-7 standard, measures how quickly flames spread across the plasterboard's surface. The classifications range from Class 1 (best) to Class 4 (worst)
