Fire Boarding & Fire Barriers Installation

Fire protective boards are particularly suitable where higher fire ratings, between 90 minutes and 4 hours, are required. They are fitted around steel columns and beams to form box encasement.

They provide a dry, clean solution where the programme is not affected by temperature. Fire board can provide an excellent finish that can be either directly decorated or skimmed with plaster.


Fire barrier services provide resistance to the passage of fire and smoke within voids such as ceiling spaces and raised access floors, preventing ignition of combustible materials in adjacent areas.

Fire barrier installation offers both thermal insulation and acoustic properties. The system usually consists of vertically hung Fire Barrier Curtains that are fixed top and bottom and can achieve a fire rating of up to 120 minutes.

    Fire Boarding and Fire Barrier Services FAQs

    • What are fire boards and fire barriers?

      Fire boards are fire-resistant panels used to protect walls, ceilings, and structural elements, while fire barriers are materials designed to compartmentalise buildings, stopping the spread of fire, smoke, and toxic gases. Both are key components of passive fire protection services.

    • What is the difference between a fire barrier and cavity fire barrier?

      A fire barrier is a protective system installed in walls, ceilings, and floors to contain fire and smoke within specific compartments of a building. A cavity fire barrier is specifically designed to seal concealed spaces, like voids and cavities, preventing fire and smoke from spreading through these hidden areas.

    • How do I know if I need fire boards or fire barriers?

      This will depend on your building’s structure and fire safety requirements. Fire boards are usually used for structural protection or where fire resistance is needed on exposed surfaces. Fire barriers are essential for sealing gaps and ensuring compartmentation in walls, floors, ceilings, and voids. Get in touch with our team for personalised advice on the best fire protection services for your property.

    • Does fire barrier installation work in older buildings?

      Yes, fire barrier installation can be effectively implemented in older buildings. TBL’s experienced fire barrier installers specialise in retrofitting fire barriers and cavity fire barriers into existing structures to ensure they meet modern fire safety standards.
