A compartment ensures that the fire is limited to a certain zone and that the fire cannot spread to surrounding zones. The fire resistance is the time that the construction elements maintain this function. 3 letters are characteristic: R: Stability (Resistance) E: Flame density (Etanchéité) I: Thermal insulation (Isolation) The E and I requirements are important for light partition walls or false ceilings. The letter R is added to load-bearing walls. For example, one speaks of an EI30 wall (former RF30): a wall with 30 minutes fire resistance. Light walls or false ceilings can be built from different materials such as plasterboard panel, calcium silicate panel with plaster matrix or cement matrix, etc. The material, together with the type of the supporting or suspension structure, determine whether the structure is suitable for your project and offers the right fire resistance. Walls with fire-resistant glass or complete walls of fire-resistant glass are also possible. Because we maintain good relationships with various manufacturers, REI Project can always offer the most efficient solution in consultation with the customer that meets your or the imposed requirements.
