Dry-application protection built to the tested board, fixing and joint detail.
Supply and installation of project-approved board and enclosure systems for structural, service and compartmentation applications.
Service overview
How Vortexen delivers this capability.
Fire-rated boards can provide clean, dry-application protection for steel, service enclosures and compartmentation uses covered by the approved system.
Performance depends on board type and thickness, framing, fastener spacing, joints, penetrations and terminations—not the board sheet alone.

Frequently asked
Answers before the first meeting.
01Can any fire-rated board use the same framing?+
No. Board, framing, fasteners, spacing, joints and supports form one tested or approved assembly.

Only when the approved system and scope define a compatible access-panel solution.
03What should be inspected before closure?+
Framing, fixings, joints, backing, service interfaces and any concealed reinforcement or support details.
