Jase Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Hi all Just need a little advice need to box in a steel upstairs. Going to timber the sides of the steel for the fire board but due to hight problem can I just glue on the fire board on the bottom face of the steel. Will this pass building inspection ?.

PeterW Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Yep nothing wrong with that. May want to try and get a few screws into timbers shaped to sit on the flanges of the RSJ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wozza Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 You could fit your timber noggins in the steel then battens onto the noggins and wall - you can then screw the PB to these and also screw up through the bottom PB into them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyshouse Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 We used to wire the plasterboard on basically tying it on with wire! Banged in noggins make it easy, glue is a no no unless you wire it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Can't you just paint it in intumescent paint if it's hidden? That's what I'm doing with all my (many, many) steels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
