Workshop Partitions for Passive Fire Protection

Stancold are experienced in the design and installation of workshop partitions using composite panel systems that meet all temperature control, spread of flame and acoustic requirements.

Our team can recommend a design that meets your budget and specification, so that you can divide your workshop space to better suit your needs. This includes fire-rated enclosures for storage or machinery, alongside new office areas.

Highly certified to meet BS476 part 22, LPS 1208 and LPS 1181, Stancold’s workshop partitions provide up to 240 minutes of complete fire resistance and can be adapted to suit specific building regulations, as approved by the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB).

Stancold are one of a few installers in the UK holding the LPS 1500 certification from LPCB (Loss Prevention Certification Board) to install LPS 1208 approved fire-resisting compartmentation systems, so your project is in safe hands from start to finish.

A range of fire protection solutions will be recommended according to your project’s specification. This includes high-quality fire batt, penetration seals, tumescent painting, steel encasement and fire boarding.

FAQ

1. What is passive fire protection?

As opposed to active fire protection such as fire alarms and fire suppressants, passive fire protection is built into the property in form of a fire rated wall or door for instance, and does not require activating in order to fulfil its role.

Passive fire protection is fundamental to the construction of industrial and commercial buildings.
The scope of passive fire protection is to maintain the fire to its point of origin and prevent the flames and smoke from spreading through the building. Passive fire protection has the ability to protect the structural integrity of the property reducing its likelihood to collapse thus maintaining vital escape routes, limiting the damage to the property and reducing repair costs.

2. Why are Mineral Fibre cored composite panels suitable for passive fire protection?

Passive fire protection systems based on composite panels are more flexible, cheaper and quicker to install than traditional masonry or jumbo stud partitions.
Mineral Fibre panels have the ability to prevent the penetration of hot gases and flames and can reduce the temperature rise on the unexposed side of a fire, thus preventing fire spread through radiated heat.

The advanced sandwich structure provides panel strengths in excess of 50 kN/m². Combined with a weight of just 15–38 kg/m², depending on panel thickness, installation becomes far quicker and easier. The weight includes insulation, vapour barrier and finished surfaces.

3. Why can Stancold offer professional advice?
