Structural fire protection in interior construction: what does it mean?
The concept of structural fire protection assumes that there is always a risk of fire within a building and that appropriate precautions must be taken. For this reason, fire protection should be given high priority during the planning and execution of buildings.
Structural fire protection encompasses all measures that help to prevent fires, smoke and the spread of flames. This includes the construction of fire protection walls and ceilings, as well as other protective structures such as cladding for load-bearing structures and I- and E-channels.

Compared to conventional construction methods, you save material costs and shorten construction time.
