The so called fire protection is efficiently the insulation of mezzanine flooring steel work with the help of Fire Dampers NSW for preventing it from quickly heating up and turning into fire. Unprotected steel work quickly heats up and may collapse suddenly. Protection from fire is specified for particular time like half an hour, one hour, two hours or so. This time refers to time which protected elements remain sound structurally during fire. Fire protection is needed for different building parts and are specified within Building Regulations.
The elements of fire protecting building according to the regulations is statutory requirements, protecting the property and lives and helping fire brigade for assessing for how long san they safely fight fire before the risks of a building collapse.
Offering protection from fire to the mezzanine floors is even known as fire rating and the mezzanine flooring is fitted with protection which may be known as fire rated.
Do the mezzanine flooring always have to be protected from fire?
The requirements for protection from fire depend mainly on usage, size as well as extent of mezzanine flooring.
Any kind of mezzanine flooring which is occupied permanently irrespective of the size will have to be protected from fire like the office areas, manufacturing and assembly, canteen space, packing areas, etc. like retail space.
How is the mezzanine floor protected from fire?
Some of the most common fire protection techniques protect the mezzanine floors by using 4 main elements of column casings, insulation, bulkheads, suspended ceiling, cavity barriers, etc. This means for protecting the mezzanine flooring is used due to its low cost as well as speed of the installation.
The column casings mainly comprise of a 2 parts sheet metallic case which is lined with the Promalit or the similar board bonded to inside of casing. The sheet metallic case generally has white or galvanised plastisol finish for suiting the application but could be coloured plastisol or stainless steel and 2 parts have unobtrusive lock seam which enables them to neatly and quickly fit with some taps from rubber mallet.
Suspended ceilings
The suspended ceilings comprise of the wires which are vertically hung on the clips from secondary beams of mezzanine supported length of the ceiling runner. The runner clips together and is joined through intermediate length of the ceiling runners for creating ceiling grids. The mine board tiles are also inserted for filling the grids.
Fascia or bulkheads are attained mainly by creating the framework from the galvanised section as well as cladding framework with the plasterboard for obtaining the requisite levels of fire protection according to the specifications of the manufacturers. The fascia or bulkheads are decorated then.
The cavity barriers are the vertical barriers in the ceiling voids which are created with the help of mineral woollen insulation for subdividing the void in the compartments according to regulations of buildings for preventing flames or smoke travelling through ceiling void.
The alternative means for fire protection is Passive Fire Protection NSW.
