Fire rated lightweight wall and ceiling systems designed to support passive fire protection and building compliance.
Lightweight construction systems play an important role in passive fire protection, forming part of the fire rated walls and ceilings that compartmentalise a building and prevent the spread of fire.
These systems are commonly used in modern construction due to their flexibility, efficiency and ability to meet strict fire rating requirements. When correctly designed and installed, lightweight construction systems provide both structural performance and fire resistance.
Bowsers delivers fire rated lightweight construction solutions across commercial, industrial and infrastructure projects, ensuring all systems meet Australian standards and compliance requirements.
All systems are installed in accordance with manufacturer specifications and tested configurations to ensure compliance and performance.
Lightweight construction systems must be built to tested and approved configurations to achieve required Fire Resistance Levels. Incorrect installation can compromise the fire rating of the entire system.
Bowsers ensures all lightweight construction works comply with Australian Standards and National Construction Code requirements. We follow tested system designs and ensure all installations meet specified fire ratings.
Our team works closely with builders, consultants and certifiers to ensure all systems are compliant and correctly documented.
Fire rated lightweight construction systems are used across a wide range of building types where compartmentation and fire separation are required.
Common applications include:
These systems are essential for maintaining fire separation between areas and supporting overall building safety.
To support complete passive fire protection systems, Bowsers also provides:
