FAQ – frequently asked questions about fire rated boards
What are fire rated boards?
Fire rated boards are construction products that are used within the scope of fire prevention at the building stage to prevent fires and to prevent the spreading of fires.
Fire rated boards are categorised according to their reaction to fire. They are essentially divided into non-combustible and flame retardant boards. Their reaction to fire is rated according to the Europe-wide standards EN 13501-1. Learn more about the exact categories of the fire rated boards in the Pfleiderer range in the brochure linked.
By the way: The family of fire rated boards also includes fire resistant and fireproof boards which are usually mineral based.
Which fire rated boards do Pfleiderer recommend for fire prevention in buildings?
Fire rated boards that come with valid certificates and approvals are an essential part of sound fire protection concepts. The materials used are subject to strict standards, especially those used in public buildings and meeting places.
Boards used for structural fire protection are separated into various categories:
- Usually, fire retardant high-pressure laminates (HPL) and flame retardant HPL bonded boards or melamine faced boards (MFB) are used for furniture and interior fitting.
- In escape corridors and anywhere else in public buildings where the use of non-combustible materials is required, the mineral-based Duropal flameprotect compact offers safe yet decorative solutions.
- The robust compact laminate Duropal XTerior compact F is available for outdoor use as cladding material for façades and balconies.
- For non-load bearing uses in dry conditions, the sustainable wood-based material PremiumBoard Pyroex is the perfect solution.
What are the fire ratings for construction products?
Fire ratings are used to classify construction products according to their flammability and combustibility.The European standard EN 13501-1 distinguishes between the classes A to F, separating non-combustible, flame retardant, normally flammable and easily flammable materials. Also relevant to classification are the abbreviations s (smoke) and d (droplets).
Pfleiderer's range of fire rated boards are classified A2, B and C depending on the material and product configuration. Please refer to the fire protection brochure linked below for further details.
