BORDERS

Precast Concrete Fire Rated panels are always manufactured with perimeter borders as a requirement under fire certification and also designed to assist with clamping panels in place as shown.

EXPANSION MATERIAL

Expansion material is crucial for fire rated panels. This example depicts a 60/30 panel which requires a minimum 10mm perimeter expansion joint. Mineral fibre can be used or lengths of GBT 10mm expansion foam (head and jambs). Bitumen strips to the base also siliconed over in a fire stop silicon.

FINISHING

Where the precast panel meets the perimeter opening, the join has been decoratively finished by an architrave moulding.
