Encasement of Steel Columns & Beams
Protect your structure
By protecting the steel
Unprotected steel beams can lose their load-bearing capacity and fail within minutes when exposed to fire, causing irreparable damage, destroying buildings and, worse yet, be high risk to the occupants.
Our fire-rated encasement systems are designed to delay heat transfer, maintain load bearing capacity, and help your entire building stay stable long enough for evacuation, emergency response and to protect your assets.
What We Do
-
Install fire-rated board encasement systems
-
Protect exposed steel columns & beams
-
Ensure compliance with Part B & manufacturer specifications
-
Create clean, seamless finishes ready for follow-on trades
-
Provide full reporting & certification
Why It Matters
Unprotected steel can buckle within minutes during a fire. Proper encasement:
-
Increases resistance times (typically 30–120 mins)
-
Supports compartmentation
-
Reduces legal and insurance risk
-
Keeps your project compliant and future-proof
Our Process
-
Inspection & measurement of steelwork
-
Specification of the correct board system (Promat, Rockwool, Siniat etc.)
-
Professional installation to tested detail
-
Quality checks and photographic evidence
-
Certification on completion
