PROMATECT®-XS is an A1 non-combustible board designed to fire protect structural steel for up to 60 minutes. It’s durable and quick to install, even before the building is weathertight – making it ideal for early-stage construction. With no glue, filler or sub-framing needed, it saves time and space on site, without compromising on performance. Available in 15mm and 20mm thicknesses, it delivers a clean, boxed finish that’s ready to decorate. From columns to beams, it’s a smarter way to build in peace of mind.

PROMATECT®-XS now has bespoke junction testing, for interfaces between encasements and partitions - in collaboration with our sister company Siniat. One combined solution. Our boards. Their walls. A full-on steel solution that really pulls its weight. 

Why PROMATECT®-XS?

One board. One system. Every angle covered. Promatect-XS is A1 non-combustible to EN 13501-1, and third-party classified to provide 60 minutes fire resistance. It installs quickly because it needs minimal framing. It holds its own for up to six months* exposed on site. And its junction details are fire tested so the edges are as robust as the face. Confidence, from every angle.

*subject to conditions – see brochure for more information.

Standard fire tests often overlook how steel encasements and partitions connect, leaving junctions unprotected.

That’s why Siniat and Promat have gone further, carrying out bespoke fire tests on partitions and encased beam and column interfaces, based on EN 1364-1:2015.

When specified by our Architectural Specification Managers and built to our guidance, these tested solutions are backed by the ETEX BP warranty.
