Building Regulations require that new buildings must be divided into fire compartments and protected means of escape in order that the spread of fire in the building is contained.

There are obvious areas of weakness which include doors, ceilings, walls, building services and ventilation ductwork passing from one compartment to another.

Firemac FM Blue can be used to ensure that all of these systems have up to 4 hours fire resistance. Firemac FM Blue is a non-combustible composite board with a fibre reinforced cement core and outer facings of 0.6mm perforated galvanised steel mechanically bonded to the core.

Other steel finishes such as stainless steel are also available on request, depending on quantity.
Firemac FM Blue systems provide robust insulated or uninsulated vertical and horizontal barriers, ventilation, smoke extract and kitchen extract ductwork and enclosures
