Fire Resistant Boards
Fire resistant boards used as core components within passive fire protection systems for industrial and commercial applications including structural steel protection.
Fire Resistant Boards
DuraSystems fire resistant boards are passive fire protection materials used within fire rated wall, ceiling, and enclosure assemblies. These boards provide reliable fire resistance where enhanced fire performance is required to meet code and life safety objectives in industrial and commercial environments.
Fire resistant boards play a critical role in limiting the spread of fire and heat, helping maintain compartmentation and structural protection during a fire event.
Why Fire Resistant Boards Matter
The performance of a fire rated assembly depends heavily on the materials used within it. Fire resistant boards provide a tested and proven layer of protection that contributes to overall system fire ratings. In demanding environments, these materials must perform reliably while integrating with other building systems and construction methods.
Available Fire Resistant Board Options
DuraSystems supports the use of the following fire resistant boards as part of listed and engineered fire protection systems.
DuraSteel
DuraSteel is a composite fire resistant board consisting of a non combustible cementitious core reinforced with steel sheets. It is designed to provide high strength, durability, and fire resistance in demanding environments.
DuraSteel boards are commonly used where enhanced impact resistance and long term durability are required in addition to fire performance, including fire rated walls, ceilings, and protective enclosures.
Promat H
Promat H is a calcium silicate based fire resistant board designed for use in fire rated construction. This board provides reliable fire resistance and dimensional stability when exposed to high temperatures.
Promat boards are commonly used in fire rated wall and ceiling systems, enclosures, structural steel fire protection, and other applications where tested fire performance is required as part of a listed assembly.
Typical Applications
• Fire rated wall assemblies
• Fire rated ceiling assemblies
• Equipment and service enclosures
• Industrial and commercial fire separation systems
Integrated Fire Protection Systems
Fire resistant boards are typically used as part of a complete fire rated assembly. DuraSystems works with designers, engineers, and contractors to help identify appropriate board materials based on fire rating requirements, assembly design, and project conditions.

FAQ
Customers frequently ask.
What information do you need to provide a quotation or specification?
Typical information includes site drawings or sketches, desired separation performance, local code considerations. The more information that you can provide, the more accurate our recommendations will be.
What thicknesses of Promat H are readily available?
15 mm, 20 mm and 25 mm are stocked items. 9 mm and 12 mm Promat H boards are available with “minimum order quantities”.
How is DuraSteel ordered?
Standard sheet size is 1200 mmm x 2500 mm x 9.5 mm. This product is inventoried and is ordered by the sheet.
