Architectural Wallsz is proud to introduce its latest innovation – a prefabricated wall system tested to European standards for a 60-minute Fire Rated Solid Wall.
This cutting-edge solution is classified under BS EN 13501-1 for Reaction to Fire and provides a 60-minute rating under BS EN 1364-1 for Fire Resistance.
This is the first test of its kind to include medical gases inside a fire-rated wall cavity, allowing for internal medical services without the need for bulky external trunking.
Traditionally, installing acoustic fire rated walls with bedhead services on either side can require as much as 360mm thickness, taking up valuable space. The AWallsz system, which uses two standard 100mm panelised walls on either side of a 30mm fire septum, supports the containment of medical gases, power and data within the wall cavity.
This minimises the space required, reduces surface-mounted components and simplifies ongoing maintenance.
The wall is also available in a variety of healthcare finishes, giving architects and healthcare providers the flexibility they need for aesthetic and functional design choices.
The new system aligns with the upcoming phase-out of British Standards (BS 476) in fire testing and certification.
As of March 2025, BS 476 for Reaction to Fire will no longer be compliant, while full certification withdrawal is expected by 2029.
Architectural Wallsz’s system ensures healthcare facilities can future-proof their designs with compliance to European standards and more efficient fire-rated wall systems.
‘We’re excited to bring this innovative fire rated wall system to the healthcare industry,’ said Architectural Wallsz Managing Director, Ian Strangward. ‘We believe this is the first time a solution has been tested to include medical gases within the wall cavity, providing both safety and efficiency in one.
‘Our goal is to future-proof healthcare facilities, offering a system that not only meets the upcoming European standards but also enhances space management and reduces ongoing maintenance.’
