Can you have interior fire-rated walls with an ACT ceiling?

Yes, it is possible to have interior fire-rated walls with an ACT (Acoustic Ceiling Tile) ceiling, but certain conditions must be met to ensure compliance with fire safety standards. Fire-rated walls are designed to resist fire spread for a specific duration, such as 1 or 2 hours, depending on the building's requirements. However, the ceiling system must also meet fire rating requirements to maintain the wall's integrity.

Standard ACT ceilings may not always be fire-rated unless specified. For complete fire protection, fire-rated ceiling tiles and grids must be installed, and their combination with the walls must meet building code specifications. Alternatively, aluminum ceilings can offer fire-resistant properties, durability, and aesthetic appeal, making them ideal for projects where safety and design are priorities.

At PRANCE, we provide aluminum ceiling solutions that are fire-resistant, functional, and customizable to meet both safety regulations and design needs.
