1. Fire Resistance Due to its non-combustible nature, gypsum provides excellent fire protection, making it a favorite choice for spaces requiring stringent safety measures.
A fire rated ceiling access door is a specifically designed entryway that is installed in ceilings to allow access to spaces such as HVAC systems, plumbing, and electrical wiring. What sets these doors apart is their ability to withstand high temperatures for a specified duration, usually rated in hours (e.g., one hour, two hours). This is crucial in commercial and industrial buildings where fire safety regulations are strict, and any breach in fire barriers must be effectively managed.
4. Sound Control Many ceiling tiles designed for T-bar grid systems have acoustic properties that help reduce noise levels within a space. This is particularly beneficial in offices, schools, and medical facilities where quiet environments are essential for productivity and comfort.
