Fire resistance solutions, Vertical Partitions - Non loas bearing walls double frame

Global Building’s non-loadbearing double-frame walls are systems designed to create fire-resistant vertical separations within a building. These walls are used to divide spaces and help define a fire compartment, while maintaining the required fire resistance performance. For this type of system, the test standard referenced in the catalogue is EN 1364-1, while the classifications provided for non-loadbearing compartmentation walls are E, EI, EI-M and EW.

Within the Global Building system range, double-frame walls are available in various certified configurations with EI 30, EI 60, EI 120 and EI 180 fire resistance. The build-ups use FIREGUARD® 13 and FIREGUARD® 18 boards, made of calcium silicates and calcium sulphates, asbestos-free and classified A1 for reaction to fire. Depending on the solution, the linings are applied to a double metal frame with vertical “C” studs 75x50x0.6 mm or with “Z” profiles 50x40x0.6 mm, inserted into “U” channels fixed to the floor and ceiling. In the solutions shown in the catalogue, any plasterboard sheets have a finishing function and are not required for fire protection purposes.

For architects, engineers, surveyors and designers, these systems represent an effective technical solution for integrating vertical fire compartmentation into the architectural project, with certified systems and a range of performances suitable for different design requirements. The catalogue also states, for the solutions presented, an unlimited maximum height within the extended field of application, with the note to consult the technical department for sizing.

On this page you can find 3D and BIM models and BIM models for fire compartmentation dedicated to Global Building systems, useful for correctly integrating fire compartmentation into the architectural project. Here you can consult the BIM models of Global Building non-loadbearing double-frame walls for vertical fire compartmentation and include them in your architectural project. Download free BIM models of non-loadbearing double-frame walls, together with the company’s official catalogue and technical data sheets. For your project, free download of Global Building BIM models of non-loadbearing double-frame walls is also available in BIM, Revit and IFC formats, as well as DWG files for AutoCAD and files compatible with SketchUp.
