Elevator Shaft Fire Protection with Microshield Magnesium Boards
In a new building near Lake Zurich, an elevator shaft was lined with Microshield magnesium boards to meet fire protection requirements. In shipbuilding and aircraft construction, these boards are approved under the designation “Microboards,” reflecting their certified safety standards.
Code-Compliant Fire Protection Solution
Elevator shafts are subject to strict fire safety regulations. By installing Microshield magnesium boards, a compliant and technically reliable lining system was achieved. The material provides high fire resistance while maintaining low weight and structural stability.
Efficient Installation on Site
The executing contractor emphasized the ease of installation. According to the managing director:
“Simple and fast installation of the 5 mm boards; fixed with stainless steel screws.”
The 5 mm panels allow for efficient assembly and contribute to streamlined construction processes.
Key Benefits
- Compliance with fire protection regulations
- Approved in shipbuilding and aircraft construction (“Microboards”)
- Lightweight with high structural stability
- Quick and straightforward installation
- Suitable for demanding construction environments
Microshield magnesium boards therefore offer a reliable solution for structural fire protection in modern building projects.
