2 Hour Fire Rated Parapet Wall System
Where fire compartmentation needs to continue beyond a floor slab or roof level, a fire rated parapet wall system provides an effective solution for maintaining the required fire separation. It is commonly used as an upstand or downstand fire barrier in a wide range of commercial, industrial and residential buildings.
The 2 Hour Fire Rated Parapet Wall System supplied by PROSAFE is constructed using a single layer of 9mm PROMATECT®-H calcium silicate board screw-fixed to one side of a galvanised steel channel framework. Installed in accordance with the tested assembly, the complete system has an overall thickness of 60mm.
Designed to resist fire exposure from either side, the system has been tested to BS 476 Part 22:1987 and provides 120 minutes of integrity performance, achieving a Fire Resistance Level (FRL) of -/120/- (integrity only) when installed as the approved tested assembly.
Suitable for commercial, industrial, institutional and residential developments, this tested parapet wall system provides a practical passive fire protection solution where reliable fire compartmentation is required above or below structural slabs.
The 2 Hour Fire Rated Parapet Wall System is suitable for a variety of building types, including:
-
Commercial buildings
-
Industrial facilities
-
Institutional buildings
-
Residential developments
-
High rise buildings
-
Roof parapet applications
-
Floor slab upstand and downstand fire barriers
-
Refurbishment and restoration projects

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this system tested?
Yes. This system has been tested to BS 476 Part 22:1987 and provides 120 minutes of integrity performance, achieving a Fire Resistance Level (FRL) of -/120/- when installed in accordance with the approved tested assembly. It is supported by the relevant test documentation and is accepted for BOMBA submission where applicable.
Do fire rated systems require certificate renewal?
No. Building owners do not need to renew the fire test certification. The certification is maintained by the system manufacturer (PROMAT), while the installed system should always follow the tested assembly and manufacturer recommendations.
How much does this system cost?
The cost depends on factors such as the project size, parapet wall dimensions and specification requirements. Contact PROSAFE for a project-specific quotation and technical advice here.
