Fire rated systems








Due to its unique composition, Speedwall provides
exceptional fire resistance over a long period of time.
However, to achieve the stated fire resistance ratings,
it is critically important to adhere strictly to the design,
installation and construction details otherwise
the fire resistance rating may be degraded.
Speedwall fire rated wall systems have been tested and
appraised by the Building Research Association of New
Zealand (BRANZ) and tested by the Commonwealth Scientific
and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) in New South
Wales, Australia. In some cases, a fire resistance rating has
been based on opinion from the same organisations.
IMPORTANT: In order to satisfy the requirements of New
Zealand Building Code (clause 4) relating to “structural
stability during fire”, designers must ensure that Speedwall
elements are supported by primary elements that have at
least the same fire rating as the Speedwall system that
is used.
