Fire Rated Ducts are specially designed HVAC ducts constructed with fire-resistant materials to contain and prevent the spread of fire and smoke through a building’s duct system. They are critical components in passive fire protection systems, especially in commercial, industrial, and high-rise buildings.
Factory-applied fire-resistant coatings (like intumescent paint).
Fire wrap systems using ceramic wool, rock wool, or fire-rated blankets.
- Double-wall ducting with an insulating core (rockwool or calcium silicate).
A Fire Rated Duct maintains its structural integrity and functionality for a specified duration during a fire. These ducts are tested and certified to resist fire for periods like 60, 90, 120, or 240 minutes, depending on the building code and safety requirements.
Life Safety: Contain fire and smoke, allowing more time for evacuation.
Compliance: Meet local and international fire safety codes.
Durability: Designed to perform under extreme heat conditions.
