Fire Protection in Dry Construction

Fire Protection in Dry Construction - Consultation, Execution & Documentation

The same fire protection objectives apply to dry construction as to other areas of construction. Installed walls, ceilings, and similar elements must be manufactured and installed to be fire-safe, even if they only serve as a room partition and are not load-bearing.

Scope of Application for Fire Protection in Dry Construction

Fire-safe dry construction systems are used across all building classes where interior fit-out is being created or renovated. The materials used (such as gypsum board) meet building regulations for fire protection and are available in fire resistance classes F30 (fire-retardant), F60 (highly fire-retardant), and F90 (fire-resistant).

Fire stops are installed for the following areas:

• Wall systems
• Ceiling systems
• Shaft constructions
• Beam and column cladding
• Cable and ventilation ducts (E-ducts)

Requirements for Fire Protection in Dry Construction

Fire protection requirements for building materials by building class are defined in the Model Building Code (MBO) and in the respective State Building Codes (LBO) of the German federal states.
