1. Does This Temporary Wall Meet ASTM Requirements?
When installing a fire-rated temporary wall system, compliance with industry standards is non-negotiable. Traditional drywall solutions may take days to build and often create unnecessary waste. FireblockWall™, on the other hand, installs four times faster than drywall and exceeds ASTM E119 and E84 requirements. Its lift-and-drop connections simplify setup, allowing contractors to quickly establish safe containment.
2. Does This Temporary Construction Wall Install Quickly?
Fast installation is crucial when containing dust, debris, and noise in active renovation areas. Drywall-based barriers require extensive labor and multiple days to install. In contrast, FireblockWall’s intuitive modular design allows for rapid deployment—reducing setup time and labor costs.
Built for safety, flexibility, and efficiency, this one-hour fire-rated wall system provides a fully code-compliant alternative to traditional solutions. Have a closer look at FireblockWall to see how its design also gets your renovation site ready in record time.
3. Does It Meet All Safety Standards for Temporary Wall Systems?
A fire-rated temporary wall system should do more than just comply with ASTM, NFPA 101, and IBC requirements—it should also support overall site safety. For example, in healthcare settings, barriers must meet strict ICRA Class IV/V infection control standards to prevent the spread of contaminants.
FireblockWall not only meets these regulations but exceeds them, making it the ideal choice for hospitals, laboratories, and other sensitive environments.
4. Is This Temporary Wall System Reusable?
Sustainability and cost-effectiveness are major considerations when choosing a fire-rated temporary wall system. Unlike temporary drywall, which ends up in a landfill after a single use, FireblockWall can be reused across hundreds of projects. In fact, it pays for itself in just three to five uses, making it a smart investment for contractors and facilities managers.
