Our universal electricians technical manual contains all the information you need about what products are right for you:
Sadly, when it comes to the construction industry; all I see is blame; there is too much friction and things are not working.
Just like the cladding and fires, waterproofing and our cracking buildings for example where things aren’t quite right, I think passive fire protection is one area that could use some leadership and a shift in paradigm.
Lack of design and planning, coupled with an focus on building certification has lead to large numbers of defective installations due to a lack of understanding of the concept of the passive fire penetration system.
In Australia, we have the NCC/BCA which outline the technical design provisions for a compliant building.
Some of us know AS3000, the primary design standard used for NCC/BCA compliance; this is our wiring rules for electrical installations. We all respect those electrical contractors who are trained to design and install our cabling and deal with the hazards of live electricity.
The NCC/ BCA tend to deal with compartment barriers separately; that is, we have fire walls with an FRL and Smoke Walls with poorly defined and qualitative requirements. We do not really have a fire and smoke wall, ceiling….
The method used to achieve the required fire resistance in Modular construction needs to be considered, in particular for floor separation between levels and resistance to impact damage.
The most basic way to understand passive fire protection is that we install on-site in the same manner that a successfully fire-tested SYSTEM was installed.

In today’s fast-paced world, time is money, and safety is non-negotiable. This project showcases the implementation of fire safety upgrades in a key retail establishment. Trafalgar COREX boards were installed without affecting the retailer’s ongoing operations, demonstrating the product’s adaptability to active business environments.
