They are different from regular masonry bricks because of their ability to withstand temperatures up to 1 800 degrees fahrenheit.
Where the external wall does not extend to the underside of the roof mineral fibre should be included.
Fire resistance ratings of several brick masonry wall assemblies tested using astm e119 procedures are listed.
External walls including gables are required to be of masonry veneer or masonry construction 90mm thick.
As such it is an excellent cladding choice to resist or confine fires.
The chemical composition of dense firebricks is different from that of regular bricks.
U902 consists of a drainage wall with brick veneer and concrete masonry units and has a 4 hour rating.
Brick veneer wall assemblies with wood stud backing routinely attain fire ratings of up to 2 hr.
This is done by extrapolating from known fire resistance periods for a given thickness of wall.
