Not every construction project faces the same risks.
While many jobsites focus on protecting finished surfaces from everyday foot traffic, carts, and equipment, projects involving welding, torch cutting, grinding, restoration, or industrial maintenance introduce another challenge: working safely around heat, sparks, and potential fire hazards.
In these environments, standard temporary surface protection products may not always be appropriate. That's where fire-rated temporary surface protection helps.
Our fire-retardant products are designed to help contractors protect finished surfaces, create temporary barriers, control dust, and maintain safer work areas without compromising the protection their project requires.
Why Fire-Rated Protection Matters
Hot work activities generate more than just heat.
Grinding creates showers of sparks. Welding produces high temperatures. Torch cutting introduces open flame. Even restoration projects can involve strict fire safety requirements that standard protection materials aren't designed to meet.
Using products specifically designed for these environments helps contractors:
- Protect finished surfaces during high-heat work.
- Reduce the risk associated with combustible temporary materials.
- Meet site-specific fire safety requirements.
- Maintain cleaner, more organized work areas.
- Continue protecting finished spaces while work progresses.
The result is a safer jobsite that remains protected from both construction damage and the additional risks created by hot work activities.
Protect Floors, Walls, Doors, + More
Even on jobsites where hot work is taking place, finished surfaces still need reliable protection.
Armour Protection Board - White FR provides durable, fire-retardant protection for a wide range of finished surfaces, including floors, walls, doors, millwork, elevator interiors, and other high-value finishes that remain exposed during construction.
Manufactured from durable 4 mm fluted plastic, the board is lightweight, waterproof, impact resistant, and reusable. It meets UL94HB V-0 fire test requirements, extinguishing flames within 30 seconds without flaming particles falling during testing, making it well suited for projects where fire safety standards are an important consideration.
Its rigid construction helps absorb impacts from carts, tools, and material movement, while still being easy to cut and install around corners, openings, and equipment. Whether you're renovating an occupied building or protecting newly finished areas during industrial construction, it provides dependable protection without compromising fire safety requirements.
Build Temporary Hoarding + Control Dust
Surface protection is only one part of creating a safer jobsite.
During renovations, restorations, and occupied-building projects, temporary containment is often just as important. Fire-retardant poly sheeting makes it easy to create temporary hoarding walls, dust barriers, room enclosures, scaffold containment, and equipment isolation areas that help separate active work from occupied spaces.
In addition to helping contain dust and debris, the Poly Sheeting Roll – FR (White) meets NFPA 701 Test 1 fire-retardancy requirements, making it an excellent choice for projects where both containment and fire safety are priorities.
Whether you're working in hospitals, schools, office buildings, manufacturing facilities, or other occupied environments, using fire-rated sheeting helps maintain cleaner workspaces while supporting site safety requirements.
Complete The System With Fire-Rated Tape
Every protection system relies on the products holding it together.
Armour Tape - FR is designed specifically for fire-rated temporary protection applications, providing strong adhesion while meeting NFPA 701 and ASTM E84 fire test requirements. Its distinctive red stripe also makes fire-rated protection systems easy to identify on site.
Use it to secure FR poly sheeting, seam temporary hoarding walls, attach protection boards, or seal dust containment barriers. Just as importantly, it removes cleanly after the project is complete, helping preserve the finished surfaces beneath.
One Complete Fire-Rated Protection Solution
When used together, Axiom's fire-rated products create a complete protection system for high-heat work environments.
Poly Sheeting Roll – FR (White) can be installed to build temporary hoarding and dust containment, Armour Tape - FR secures and seals the system, and Armour Protection Board White - FR safeguards finished floors, walls, doors, and other vulnerable surfaces from both impact and the demands of active construction.
By combining these products, contractors can create safer, cleaner, and more organized work areas while continuing to protect valuable finishes throughout every stage of the project.
Conclusion: Build Safer Without Compromising Protection
High-risk work doesn't have to mean sacrificing surface protection.
Whether you're welding, grinding, torch cutting, or completing restoration work, Axiom's fire-rated temporary protection products help protect finished surfaces, contain dust, and support safer jobsites where heat, sparks, and flame are part of the job.
From temporary hoarding to finished floors and doors, we're here to help you remove risk, even in the most demanding construction environments.
