Fire Board Applications

Board Fireproofing for Reliable Structural Protection

At Shippy’s Rolling Plains Construction, we provide professional fire board installation for commercial and industrial projects.

Our team installs fire board systems that help protect structural steel during a fire. These systems can protect beams, columns, and other approved building parts.

Fire-resistant boards come in several sizes and thicknesses. As a result, contractors can select materials that match their project needs.

Approved board systems can help building assemblies achieve specific fire-resistance ratings. For example, certain systems offer ratings from one to four hours.

However, actual ratings depend on the product and tested assembly. Our crews follow project plans, manufacturer guidelines, and applicable fire protection standards.

A Proven Alternative to Spray-Applied Fireproofing

Fire boards offer an alternative to spray-applied fireproofing for some construction projects.

For example, they may work well in spaces where spraying materials would be difficult.

Many fire board products also use mineral-based materials. As a result, certain boards offer resistance to mold and moisture under suitable conditions.

In addition, factory-made boards provide consistent sizes and material properties.

However, each system still requires proper installation and any inspections specified for the project.

Fire Board Installation for Renovations & Specialty Areas

Fire board systems can support new construction and building renovation projects.

For example, contractors may select these systems for mechanical rooms, electrical spaces, and other areas with limited access.

Our crews install boards using the methods required by the approved system.

In some cases, mechanical fastening can simplify work where spray application is not practical.

However, installation conditions still depend on product limits, site access, and project requirements.

Flexible Fire Protection for Structural Steel

Fire board systems can also help construction teams plan work around other building trades.

For example, certain approved systems allow installation beneath roof decks before other roofing work begins.

In addition, board systems may suit projects where structural movement or deflection affects material selection.

These features can help teams plan construction schedules more effectively.

Still, contractors must confirm that the selected system meets the building’s design and fire protection needs.
