Load-bearing structures keep their fire-resistance rating through approved board claddings, fire-protective coatings or mineral-wool build-ups — installed in Essen and Region Reg.-Bez. Düsseldorf.
Unlike fire doors or seals, claddings don't form compartments — they buffer temperature. The steel beam, the duct, the timber stays load-bearing under fire for the defined duration. In Essen, this matters most in hall structures where a beam collapse means a section collapse.
What we install in Essen depends on the structure, appearance and construction phase.
Promatect-L or equivalent — fully enclosing the duct, per approval, in Essen industrial settings.
Lift shafts or service shafts — F90 outside, F30 inside, per concept in Essen. Audit-ready in Essen.
Sprayable, for large-area load-bearing structures in industrial halls where appearance is secondary. Audit-ready in Essen.
Board cladding with Promatect or Knauf — three-sided or four-sided box around the beam.
F30/F60 cladding for existing ceilings — for top-ups, renovation, stock protection in Essen.
Intumescent coating — for visible steelwork, where boards would interfere visually.
F30/F90/F120 classification — the foundation, building-authority recognised, in stock and new build.
