Product Overview
As the industry’s thinnest fire-rated panel, the SEMCO FR Panel System offers up to two hours of fire protection, integrated structure and superior transmission loss in an easy-to-install, tongue-and-groove design.
The FR Panel System has endured rigorous, professional, third-party testing under UL-263 “Standard for Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials” using ASTM E119 test criteria, and it has proven to comply with the National Fire Protection Association’s® (NFPA) Code 251. The FR Panel’s significantly low thermal transfer rate offers one or two hours of added protection during a fire event, providing first-responders valuable time they need to arrive.
Key Features and Benefits
- Roll-formed tongue-and-groove construction with a fully enclosed and insulated joint to provide better fit with closer tolerances
- Pre-insulated joint, which eliminates field insulation
- No screws through vertical panel joints, lowering installation cost and eliminating the possibility of air and noise leaks that can occur with screws
- Internal media that provide excellent sound transmission loss and fire protection
- Factory interior cuts, notches, and sloped ends, as required, which reduces installation costs and accommodates equipment
