Review the Wall Build-Up
Record the board grade, thickness and layers together with framing, insulation, fixings, joints and service penetrations. For rated walls, confirm that the proposed construction matches the relevant fire and acoustic evidence. For tiled or wet-area finishes, coordinate the backing board, waterproofing and adhesive system before installation.
| Review area | Information to confirm |
|---|---|
| Board and finish | Board grade, dimensions, thickness, layers, room use and finish |
| Wall construction | Framing, insulation, fixings, joints, perimeter details and service penetrations |
| Assembly evidence | Fire and acoustic results for the relevant complete wall build-up |
Product Questions
Does an A1 board give a two-hour wall rating?
No. Reaction-to-fire classification and wall fire resistance address different properties. A time-based rating needs evidence for the relevant complete wall construction.
Which acoustic result should be compared?
Compare results for equivalent wall build-ups and the same measurement method. Do not treat a board-only description as an STC or Rw rating for the finished partition.
