Properly engineered aluminum ceiling systems—with intumescent layers, insulation, and tested suspension hardware—can achieve both 1-hour and 2-hour fire ratings.
Perforated aluminum panels can be integrated into fire-rated ceilings when paired with suitable intumescent backing, insulation, and tested as part of a complete assembly.
Decorative finishes—PVDF, powder coat, or printed wood-grain films—do not compromise fire performance if applied over fire-rated aluminum panels tested as an assembly.
Fire-rated aluminum ceilings, when installed per code (60–120 min rating, smoke seals, slip-resistant finishes), are ideal for protected evacuation corridors and stairwells.
