Guest David Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 Hi Can someone please give me advise on the picture attached. This is the construction of a flat wall in a small purpose built block of flats. This is like straw construction with a skim over the top. The flats are on a stay put policy and I’m pretty sure there needs to be 60 minutes compartmentation for a stay put in flats. Will these wall last for 60mins, or are they dangerous? Any information welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyB Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Thanks Tom! Never seen it before - you should get 30 minutes Fire Resistance from a intact panel according to the manufacturers.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sutton Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 David needs to check out where it is being used also what is the the fire resistance of the construction between each flat and the common areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Sutton Posted April 24, 2022 Report Share Posted April 24, 2022 Which walls are constructed with stramit, is it the inernal walls or the external walls of the flat and does any any walls expose the straw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
