Fire-rated plasterboard is made to slow down the spread of fire and safeguard the building's structure. This gives people more time to get out and helps keep damage to a minimal. The proper decision depends on where the board will go (walls, ceilings, or partitions) and how fire-resistant it needs to be. Some places might even need systems that can withstand fire for up to two hours. The board must also be installed exactly as the tested system says it should be, because even tiny modifications can impact how well it works. This tutorial goes over the basics and answers frequently asked questions to make it easier for you to choose.
