Fire-Rated Systems can be very complicated. Questions to ask and research about your next project with Fire-Rated Systems.
What is your Fire Rating?
- 1 or 2 hour? Sometimes a 2hr system does not meet 1 hour. Actually, sometimes an 1 hour test is harder to meet than a 2 hour.
Codes?
- UL 2079 - Fourth Edition
- UL 2079 - Fifth Edition
Deflection?
Is total deflection the same as deflection gap?
Not at all. You'll need to know your projects requirements on:
- Deflection Gap (Nominal / Installed Joint Width)
- Extension requirements
- Compression requirements
- Max. Joint Width (Total Deflection Movement)
Yep, it can be confusing but we're here to help explain the differences.
