Boards and blankets



Hard boards and flexible blankets are installed in situ as either profile or boxed fire protection. The base materials include ceramic fibres, calcium silicate, rock fibre, gypsum and vermiculite. Most are only suitable for interior use and have limited external exposure. Hard boards are vulnerable to impact damage.
