Walls & Ceilings
DuraSystems fire rated walls and ceilings provide passive fire protection that helps limit the spread of flame, heat, and smoke within commercial, industrial, and critical infrastructure facilities. These systems are engineered to withstand harsh, high-traffic environments where standard fire protection materials are often damaged through daily use. With listed assemblies for both vertical and horizontal applications, DuraSystems walls and ceilings deliver reliable fire performance combined with heavy duty durability.
Walls and Ceilings
DuraSystems fire rated walls and ceilings provide passive fire protection designed to limit the spread of flame, heat, and smoke within commercial, industrial, and critical infrastructure facilities. These systems are engineered for environments where standard fire rated assemblies are often compromised by daily impacts, equipment movement, and high traffic conditions.
Built with heavy duty construction, DuraSystems wall and ceiling systems help maintain fire performance over time while supporting compartmentation and life safety objectives. Listed assemblies are available for vertical walls, horizontal ceilings, and shaft wall applications, with fire ratings up to 4 hours.
Why Walls and Ceilings Matter
Passive fire protection is a critical component of building design. Fire rated walls and ceilings help contain fire events to a specific area, providing time for evacuation and emergency response. In active facilities, repeated impacts and wear can reduce the effectiveness of conventional fire rated systems. DuraSystems walls and ceilings are designed to reduce that risk by combining listed fire rated designs with durable, impact resistant construction.
Key Benefits
• Fire rated wall and ceiling assemblies with ratings up to 4 hours
• Listed designs for walls, ceilings, and shaft wall systems
