What Is Fire-Rated Drylining?

Fire-rated drylining is a specialist construction system that provides timed fire protection for walls and ceilings. The fire rating — measured in minutes — indicates how long the partition can resist fire without allowing flames or extreme heat to pass through. In a fire, every minute counts, and fire-rated drylining gives people crucial time to evacuate and firefighters time to respond.

At Drylining St Albans, we supply and install fire-rated drylining systems using certified materials from British Gypsum and Knauf. Our installations are designed to meet or exceed the fire resistance requirements specified in Part B of the Building Regulations, and we provide full documentation with every project.
