Calcium Silicate Board for Construction Fireproof

Fire-resistant calcium silicate board for modern construction — fireproof partitions, suspended ceilings, structural steel cladding, fire-rated walls, fire door cores, and wet-area applications. A1 non-combustible, up to 240 minutes fire resistance, dimensionally stable in humid conditions.

✓A1 Non-combustible (EN 13501-1)
✓Up to 240 Minutes Fire Rating
✓Moisture Resistant
✓100% Asbestos-free

Why Architects Choose Calcium Silicate

Modern building codes require passive fire protection throughout commercial, institutional, and high-rise residential buildings. Calcium silicate boards are the preferred choice for fire-rated walls, ceilings, and structural protection because they combine A1 non-combustible performance with excellent dimensional stability in humid conditions.

HR RHINO calcium silicate boards are tested and certified for fire resistance ratings up to 240 minutes (4 hours) according to EN 13501-1 and BS 476. Unlike gypsum boards that lose strength when wet, our products maintain full performance after drying — making them ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, and humid environments.

Typical applications include fire-rated partitions and walls, suspended ceilings, structural steel cladding, fire doors, stairwells, elevator shafts, lift lobbies, and exterior wall systems. Our boards are non-combustible, asbestos-free, machinable with standard tools, and safe for installers and occupants.

Key Construction Applications

Six building applications where HR RHINO calcium silicate boards deliver certified fire protection, thermal insulation, and dimensional stability.

01

Fire-Rated Partitions & Walls

Interior partitions and dry walls in commercial buildings, hospitals, schools, and high-rise residential projects. Achieves fire resistance ratings from 30 to 240 minutes depending on thickness and construction detail.

Fire Rating: 30-240 min Thickness: 6-25 mm
02

Structural Steel Fireproofing

Passive fire protection for columns, beams, and steel structures. Protects load-bearing steel from reaching critical temperatures (538°C) during a fire, maintaining structural integrity and allowing safe evacuation.

Fire Rating: 60-240 min Density: 450-500 kg/m³
03

Suspended Ceilings

Fire-rated ceiling systems for offices, shopping malls, airports, and public buildings. Smooth surface accepts paint and decorative finishes while providing acoustic insulation and fire separation.

Fire Rating: 30-120 min Thickness: 6-12 mm
04

Stairwells, Shafts & Lift Lobbies

Critical escape routes and service shafts require the highest fire ratings. Our high-performance boards create fire-rated enclosures for stairwells, elevator shafts, service risers, and ventilation shafts.

Fire Rating: 120-240 min Thickness: 9-25 mm
05

Wet-Area Wall & Ceiling Cladding

Bathrooms, kitchens, swimming pools, and humid environments. Unlike gypsum boards, calcium silicate maintains dimensional stability and strength when exposed to moisture, with full recovery after drying.

Moisture Resistant Dimensional Stable
06

Exterior Wall & Tunnel Lining

External wall systems, soffit panels, and infrastructure applications including tunnels, metro stations, and parking garages. Weather-resistant boards provide fire protection and thermal insulation for demanding outdoor environments.

Weather Resistant Non-combustible A1

Benefits for Construction

Engineered for modern building codes and architectural demands.

🔥

A1 Non-combustible

Classified A1 under EN 13501-1. Does not burn, does not contribute to fire load, and emits no toxic smoke in fire conditions.

⏱

Up to 240 Min Fire Rating

Certified fire resistance from 30 to 240 minutes (4 hours) per EN 1364, BS 476, and UL ratings — meeting all major building codes.

💧

Moisture Resistant

Maintains dimensional stability and strength in humid environments. No swelling, warping, or degradation — ideal for wet areas.

🎨

Smooth Finishable Surface

Smooth surface accepts paint, wallpaper, tile, and decorative finishes directly. No special primer required for most applications.

🔨

Easy to Install

Cut with standard tools. Fastens with regular screws or nails. Compatible with standard steel stud framing systems.

✓
