“We were looking for an alternative to the shaft wall application because they are so difficult and aggravating to build,” said Baker. “A dealer rep at BMC told us about the LP FlameBlock assembly as an alternative. The city codes council reviewed the plans and found them fire code compliant.”
According to Baker, the installation went very smoothly. “Because of the ease of installation and the simplicity of the product, it saved us a lot of time. The process has gone much faster than the traditional shaft walls.”
Baker was also happy to see that the LP FlameBlock wall assembly would help with sound mitigation. “We’re going to be using the resilient channel to improve the sound reduction,” he said. “I think this is going be a really good product to use knowing it has both sound and safety benefits.”
Baker says he plans to use LP FlameBlock fire-rated sheathing on any projects that require a partition wall in the future.
