Partitions & External Walls Fire Protection
Partitions and external walls are used to separate buildings, enclose compartments and contain fire to provide a barrier to the passage of fire from one side to the
other and are able to satisfy each of the relevant fire resistance criteria (integrity, insulation and, if the wall is loadbearing, load bearing capacity) from either
side for the prescribed period. The application of partition and external wall systems using Promat boards covers both non loadbearing and loadbearing situations in
commercial, industrial, institutional, residential and high-rise constructions, or in the restoration of existing buildings.
Promat’s internal partition systems require less material to achieve similar fire resistant level when compared to the industry average wallboard partition systems. The single layer board application leads to simplified construction methods over other equivalents hence increased productivity and reduced overall installation cost.
These partition and external wall systems have been developed by Promat International (Asia Pacific) Ltd. to satisfy standard requirements for intended applications. Such considerations include:

- Time & cost effectivess
- Thermal resistance
- Fire resistance performance
- Slim walls
- Impact resistant
- Lightweight
- Acoustic performance
General Design Considerations
Here are some of the factors which should be considered when determining the correct specification to ensure a partition or external wall will provide the required
design performance under both fire and ambient conditions.
- Studwork design
- Fire resistance performance
- Fire doors & glazing
- Non loadbearing partitions
- Movement joint
- Partition junction
- Loadbearing capacity
- Caulking & service penetrations
