Indians are lucky to live in a country where fire safety is taken seriously. Whether we’re talking about strict standards of fire system implementation during the construction of new buildings, or the thousands of CFS volunteers across the country who bravely donate their time to fighting rural fires, we’re a nation who understands how important it is to be prepared for the event of a fire. Fire walls are one part of a fire system that protects our citizens when they’re at work or within a commercial or apartment building. In this post, we’ll explain fire walls in detail and why you should call Fire Rating Solutions when you need your fire wall and passive fire system inspected and maintained. What is a fire protection wall? Fire walls provide protection of one building or portion of a building for the condition where the building on the other side is fully engulfed in flames and could be subject to complete collapse. Fire walls are fire-resistant barriers that are used to prevent the spread of fire within a building or structure. Obviously a fire wall on its own cannot stop the spread of fire if the fire can get over, around or through the wall.A fire wall and the elements it is attached to must all form part of the fire rated system. Fire walls are part of your building’s passive fire protection system which aims to stop or slow the spread of fire once it has started. Active fire systems, on the other hand, aim to fight the fire itself – like fire sprinklers and extinguishers. What are they made from? Fire safety walls are made using high-grade, fire-resistant materials including concrete and reinforced concrete, Hebel blocks or specialised fire rated plaster board/gypsum as well as specialised products such as Speedpanel (aerated concrete core with galvanized steel shell) and Promat fire boards.
