Fire Rated Ceilings and Floors Melbourne from Promat

Promat carries a wide range of fire rated ceiling and floor systems with fire resistance of up to 240 minutes. Generally, PROMATECT® ceiling and floor systems provide horizontal fire barriers to prevent vertical spread of fire.

PROMATECT® ceiling and floor systems have been extensively tested and assessed to provide resistance to fire from above, below or above and below. They satisfy the integrity and insulation criteria of BS476: Parts 20, 21, 22 and 23: 1987 and/or AS 1530: Part 4. The flooring systems not only meet the integrity and insulation criteria but also meet the loadbearing capacity (structural adequacy) criteria of the British and Australian national standards.

General Design Considerations
Here are some of the factors which should be considered when determining the correct specification to ensure a ceiling or a floor system provides the required design performance under both fire and ambient conditions.

• Supporting structure design
• Non loadbearing ceilings
• Loadbearing ceilings
• Acoustics
• Movement joint
• Caulking & service penetrations
• Light fittings
• Access panels & hatches
• Resistant to impact
