Thicknesses: 12mm, 18mm

WHAT IS FIRE RATED PLYWOOD

Fire Rated Plywood is a wood-based panel that has been pressure-treated with fire-retardant chemicals to reduce flame spread and slow combustion. While maintaining the structural characteristics of traditional plywood, the treatment enhances its performance in applications where building codes require fire resistance. It is commonly specified in commercial, institutional, and marine interior environments.

SPECIALTY APPLICATION

Fire Rated Plywood is considered a specialty panel because it is chemically treated to improve fire performance compared to standard plywood. This treatment reduces flame spread and smoke development, making it suitable for installations where compliance with fire safety standards is required.

FEATURES

Fire-Retardant Treatment – Pressure-treated to reduce flame spread and enhance fire performance.

Code-Compliant Applications – Commonly used where building or marine regulations require fire-rated materials.

Structural Integrity – Retains the strength and machinability of conventional plywood.

Moisture-Resistant Options – Available with exterior-grade bonding depending on specification.

Versatile Use – Suitable for wall panels, ceilings, partitions, and interior assemblies.
