Fire-Resistant Ceiling Tiles

Tested, Code Compliant Ceilings that Address Fire Safety

Fire Guard icon

Fire resistance is an important consideration for every ceiling system – no matter how simple or complex. Our fire-resistant ceiling systems are engineered to meet the most stringent industry standards (ASTM E1264 Class A rating). Our systems are specially formulated to provide enhanced resistance against structural failure through our patented expansion relief that helps maintain the integrity of the ceiling.

Select FIRE GUARD ceiling tiles and grid from a broad range of looks and acoustic options to meet your design and functional requirements.

Selecting the Right UL Fire-Rated Assembly

  • Local Building Codes

    Local building codes for safe construction rely on two fire ratings to evaluate compliance

    1. Material Flame Spread/Smoke Development Index Rating
    2. Fire Resistance Assembly Rating

    These ratings are based on ASTM standards, and compliance is determined by several independent, non-government testing services such as Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.

    Two types of fire-rated construction assemblies pertain to acoustical ceiling systems

    • Roof/Ceiling Assemblies
      Ceiling system, lighting, HVAC outlets, and other penetrants through the ceiling, the plenum, roof support structure, and roof assembly including deck, insulation, and roofing system.
    • Floor/Ceiling Assemblies
      Ceiling system, lighting, HVAC outlets, and other penetrants through the ceiling, the plenum, structural system, subfloor, and finish floor.


    Selecting the right UL Fire-Rated Assembly

    • Establish the hourly rating needed to meet code requirements.
    • Determine the existing or planned building elements, including structural, mechanical, electrical, and finish materials, in the fire-rated assembly.
    • Refer to the Fire Resistance Rating Summary to determine the UL design numbers and ceiling system products that correspond to the fire-rated assemblies that meet your needs.
