Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
If the metal framed suspended ceilings are erected and lined with plasterboard prior to the construction of the internal partitions, consideration would need to be given to the prevention of the fire spreading within the void and over the partitions enclosing the protected entrance halls.
The installation of 30 minutes cavity barriers positioned vertically in line with partitions surrounding the protected entrance halls. Or a 30 minute horizontal cavity barrier installed throughout the whole of the flat compartment. Considerations should be given to the recessed lights that are fitted with hoods and extract duct penetrations should be suitably fire dampened.
