Fireboard is a type of building material designed to resist fire and improve safety in construction. It is typically made from a combination of gypsum, fiberglass, and other non-combustible materials. Fireboard is commonly used in walls, ceilings, and floors to help prevent the spread of flames and smoke during a fire. This material is often used in commercial and residential buildings, especially in areas that require enhanced fire protection, such as kitchens and utility rooms. Fireboard can also be found in fire-rated assemblies, which are structures designed to withstand fire for a specific period, ensuring safety for occupants.
