Fire Rated & Fire Resistant Wall Panels
ASTM Certified 1 Hour Fire Rated
Panel Built has installed numerous One Hour systems throughout the country. Both military and commercial customers come to Panel Built for their laboratory tested ASTM certified One-Hour Fire Resistant wall panel system. This specially designed fire resistant wall panel is composed of 5/8” Fire-Shield gypsum board with a mineral wool insulated core and held in place with 26 gauge galvanized steel studs. 20 gauge steel channel is used to secure the wall panels.
Tested by a certified independent laboratory, Panel Built’s One Hour panel has “successfully met the conditions of acceptance as outlined in ASTM Method E119-00a Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials for a fire endurance rating of 60 minutes.”
Where One Hour Fire Rated is not required, but Class A does not suffice, Panel Built has developed a “hybrid” panel. For more information, please contact your Panel Built representative.
One Hour Fire Rated Panels have a mineral wool core covered by mechanically fastened type-x gypsum board to steel studs. It can be covered with the sheeting of your choice. Panel is tested by blasting with a flame for one hour followed by a blasting from a fire hose. The wall must then remain intact.
