Don’t overlook fire-resistant wraps. They can be a good middle ground between boards and coatings. Easy to install and can be quite effective if chosen correctly. Plus, they’re usually less noticeable than boards.

Has anyone considered the long-term maintenance of these solutions? Fire-resistant materials can degrade over time, especially in environments with high humidity or temperature fluctuations. It’s something to think about when choosing the best option for your project.

I think it’s crucial to consult with a fire safety expert before making any decisions. They can provide insights into the most effective solutions based on the specific needs of your building and ensure compliance with all regulations.
Another angle to consider is the building’s ventilation system. Improving fire resistance is great, but if the ventilation can spread smoke and fire quickly, it might not be enough. Maybe look into integrating some fire dampers or upgrading the ventilation system as part of the project.
