The Fire Safety Advantage of Steel from Your Local Experts
At Thunder Mountain Metal Sales in Tucson, AZ, we are committed to providing our customers—from contractors to DIY homeowners—with the highest quality and most reliable materials for their roofing, fencing, and construction projects. We understand that fire safety is a paramount concern in Southern Arizona. That’s why we want to clarify the superior properties of the metal products we fabricate and supply, directly referencing a key technical letter from the United States Steel Corporation.
Fire Resistance Ratings: Assembly vs. Material
A common question we receive involves fire ratings. It is crucial to understand that:
-
Fire resistance ratings are assigned to construction components and systems, not to the materials themselves.
-
The industry’s leading organizations, including Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and the American Institute of Steel Construction Inc. (AISC), list steel as a material.
This distinction means that when you build with steel, the rating applies to the entire system (e.g., a steel-framed wall or roof assembly).
Achieving Fire-Resistant Construction with Steel Systems
Steel is the material of choice for many fire-resistant building components and systems. To achieve specific fire resistance ratings required by modern building codes, steel is typically integrated into protected assemblies.
In these applications, the steel is commonly protected from the thermal effects of fire by being:
-
Coated/sprayed with a specialized fire-resistant material.
-
Wrapped or otherwise insulated.
By using an approved protection system, your steel components can meet the demanding fire-rated assembly requirements for columns, beams, walls, and roofs.
