Lightweight construction plays a pivotal role in modern building design, offering enhanced fire protection without compromising on architectural aesthetics or structural integrity. The application of fire sprays and the use of fire-rated materials in constructing bulkheads, enclosures, and walls help in maintaining structural adequacy of buildings as well as containing fires, limiting the spread of flames and smoke, and ensuring the safety of building occupants. This method is critical for maintaining the building’s integrity during a fire, providing crucial evacuation time and reducing the risk of extensive property damage.
