Hoardfast Firescreen
30 minute and 60 minute fire-rated hoarding panels
Hoardfast Firescreen is a modular, quick-to-install, steel faced fire-rated hoarding panel – available in two panel types: 30 minute (EI30) and 60 minute (EI60) fire-ratings. Ideal for creating fire-rated partitions, the mineral wool-filled panels meet strict fire protection standards such as EN 13501-1:2008 A2 s1 d0 and EI30/EI60 fire resistance.
Used during construction, internal fit out and refurbishment works to segregate and protect adjacent operational areas from dust, these durable fireproof screens offer secure floor-to-ceiling installations – create fire-rated partition walls, site offices and welfare spaces. Can also be used as an external weathering panel for use during construction projects to weather protect an open building, allowing dry internal site accommodation to be created – offering excellent acoustic and thermal benefits.
Overview
Hoardfast Firescreen provides a versatile, modular, and easy-to-install hoarding solution. Part of the Hoardfast range, panels offer EI30 and EI60 fire resistance. These fire rated panels serve as an effective solution for a range of applications. The screening system can be used for both internal site rooms and partition wall systems. Firescreen interlocks securely, offering fire protection as well as noise reduction and thermal insulation on construction sites.
Constructed from pure white (RAL9010) steel composite, Firescreen panels feature tongue-and-groove connections for seamless and quick installation. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, Firescreen is a cost-effective and durable option, designed to be reconfigured and reused across multiple hoarding construction project phases.

Fire-Rated Partitions for Construction Sites
When fire safety is a top priority, fire-rated partitions for construction sites like Hoardfast Firescreen offer a reliable and regulation-compliant solution. Designed for temporary or semi-permanent use, these robust hoarding panels provide a certified 30-minute (EI30) or 60-minute fire resistance (EI60), making them ideal for safely separating work zones, protecting site personnel and managing fire risks during construction phases.
For areas with reduced fire risk or where shorter fire performance is sufficient, the 30-minute fire-rated hoarding option delivers certified EI30 protection, ideal for internal segregation, back-of-house corridors, or welfare spaces not adjacent to public or high-risk areas.
Hoardfast Firescreen’s modular system allows for quick installation of fire rated partition walls that meet EN 13501-1:2008 A2 s1 d0 standards. Whether used internally to segregate works, create site accommodation or externally as external weathering panels or site perimeter fencing, these fire-resistant partitions ensure essential fire containment without compromising on flexibility or ease of use.
Three-in-One solution for Multistory Construction Projects
Hoardfast Firescreen delivers three-in-one functionality for temporary hoarding in construction sites:
- Fire Protection: Certified 60-minute fire rating protects site areas.
- Weatherproofing: Use as an external hoarding panel to shield work areas from weather conditions.
- Site Facilities: Create temporary site rooms like offices and welfare spaces within the project site, benefitting from thermal and acoustic insulation.
Optional features include doors, vision panels, and windows for custom hoarding systems that meet specific project requirements.
Fire-rated Screens for Indoor and Outdoor Protection
Hoardfast Firescreen panels function as high-performance fire rated screens suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. The steel-faced, mineral wool-filled composition makes them a reliable choice for areas requiring certified fire protection, thermal insulation, and structural durability.
These modular fire rated partition panels are weather-resistant and built to withstand the demands of active construction sites, making them ideal for use in external hoarding systems as well as internal fire-rated walls. Whether safeguarding a live operational office within the site,shielding the public from the works, or creating site boundaries, Hoardfast Firescreen ensures all-around protection with minimal disruption.
Fire-Rated Screens for Construction with Acoustic & Thermal Benefits
In addition to certified fire resistance, Hoardfast Firescreen panels function as high-performance fire-rated screens for construction environments where acoustic control and energy efficiency matter. With thermal insulation values and sound-reducing properties, these panels support both safety and comfort across active workspaces.
Whether used in temporary site offices or to separate operational zones, these fire rated partition walls offer more than just fire containment. They also help regulate indoor temperature and reduce noise transfer, essential for welfare spaces, meeting rooms and other onsite facilities requiring enhanced environmental control.
Applications & Uses
- Floor-to-ceiling 30-minute and 60-minute fire-rated screens and partition walls
- Internal site rooms (offices and welfare facilities)
- External hoarding for weatherproofing construction sites
30-Minute and 60-Minute Fire-Rated Partitions: Certified Safety Performance
Hoardfast Firescreen panels are engineered to meet the demands of high-risk environments with 30-minute and 60-minute fire-rated panels that comply with EN 13501-1:2008 standards and deliver EI30 and EI60 fire resistance. This certification ensures that in the event of a fire, the partition will maintain its integrity and insulation performance for at least one hour, crucial for evacuation safety and fire containment.
In situations where 60-minute protection exceeds the project’s requirements, the 30-minute fire-rated hoarding panel offers a compliant and efficient alternative, providing EI30 performance while retaining the same Hoardfast compatibility and installation benefits.
These fire-rated partitions have been rigorously tested to achieve a fire classification of A2 s1 d0, making them a dependable choice for creating safe zones within construction projects. When you need fire-rated partition walls that combine certified safety with fast installation and reusability, Hoardfast Firescreen delivers without compromise.
Fire-Rated Hoarding Panels for Temporary Use
Built for flexibility and long-term performance, Hoardfast Firescreen panels are ideal as fire-rated hoarding panels for both temporary and more permanent construction needs. Their modular design allows for rapid deployment and easy relocation across different phases of a project, offering consistent fire protection throughout.
The 30-minute fire-rated panel gives construction professionals greater flexibility to apply the appropriate fire rating to different areas, optimising both safety and budget. This option is particularly useful for projects requiring mixed fire-rated zones.
These durable fire-rated partition panels are equally suited for temporary hoarding around live construction zones. With reusability at their core, Hoardfast Firescreen supports cost-efficiency while delivering ongoing fire safety and compliance on any site layout.
