June 11, 20196 yr comment_14385 Hi Guys, First post here so hello everybody ? just a quick question, we've been asked to block up a doorway in a care home (advised by fire safety officer) Now we were going to use blocks and build a double skinned wall but do we really need to go to that length or can we just frame it out and use 15mm fireboard either side and skim? Thankyou for any input, Andy ? Report

This product selector will help you determine the required type & thickness of board and type of supporting system for the FR you require: https://www.british-gypsum.com/white-book-system-selector Report
