Got some plans email this morning and it mentions using EML around the steel and bonded to give 1/2hr fire protection.I dont price many jobs from plans, but Is that not an old spec??


Thanks in advance for your informative replies

And no knob jokes

i would say it is an old spec. the last time i did that spec it was eml and 1 inch thickness of carlite metal lathing plaster in about 1970. two layers of fireline plasterboard now.

Won't be hard to nail eml onto steel - I'd use slurry?

Oh do shut up numptey.
@Arti on columns and steels you can just wrap the EML around and fix to itself with tie wire, followed by 13mm of bonding and then skimmed.

Doesn't 15mm fireline give you 30 min?

I was just thinking that plasterboard gives you 30 mins so wouldnt framing out the steel or just dabbing fireline be better than titting about with EML?
 
It may be a float and set job? Where u eml over the steel nailing into block work eitherside with building paper underneath.
If steels are needing boxing use fireline board

@Arti if you get it changed to board BG and others make metal fixings that just clip onto I beams and others for boxing around box steels.
