Our fire rated party wall and boundary system suppliers
Efficient, cost effective and ultra-thin fire rated boards
ProBoard panels are made from a magnesium oxide (MgO) cement, reinforced with glass fibre mesh. Magnesia is a versatile mineral that when used as part of a cement mixture can be cast into cement panels. MgO cement sheets have many advantages over traditional plaster and cladding types. Gone are the days of mouldy plaster, ProBoard panels are mould resistant and can be left in the weather for up to six months. As an environmentally friendly building material, magnesia board has strength and resistance due to very strong bonds between magnesium and oxygen atoms that form magnesium oxide crystals.
ProBoard panels are a multi-purpose panel and are suitable for a wide range of general building uses. They can be installed internally in lieu of plaster and externally in lieu of cement sheet, bricks and other cladding types. ProBoard panels are renowned for their fire resistance and therefore have enabled ProBoard to design the simplest and cheapest FRL systems in the construction industry.

- ProBoard Fireless Party Wall System 18mm (FRL 60/60/60)

Setting new standards for Class 1a building with Knauf Partiwall®
Knauf Partiwall® system is a twin stud wall system that incorporates a single or double layer of 25mm Shaftliner™ Mouldstop plasterboard fire barrier within the wall cavity. This product range is ideal for separating walls between attached dwellings.
The pioneering system of its kind in Australia, the Partiwall® system has become one of the most widely used separating wall systems in attached villa units and townhouse developments. The Partiwall® permits easy incorporation of services and doesn’t require penetration and perimeter treatment associated with traditional fire-rated systems.
Meanwhile, the Shaftliner™ panels are held in position by lightweight steel H- or I-section studs. Installation of Shaftliner™ fire barrier is carried out during the framing stage and doesn’t require plasterboard screw fixing, jointing, or finishing. The internal wall linings are installed at the plastering stage using conventional installation methods.
The Partiwall® separating wall system is suitable for attached dwellings in Class 1a. If you’re looking for solutions for multi-residential buildings in Class 2, 3, and 9C, Knauf recommends the Multiframe™ timber-framed construction system (subject to the National Construction Code limitations) or IntRwall® separating wall system.
