Fireguard
™
Fireguard delivers optimum fire protection in style. Durable
yet lightweight, Fireguard panels are made by combining
timber fibres with a resin binder under extreme heat and
pressure. The result is a material that’s not only stronger and
denser than plywood or particleboard, but easier to saw and
route. It’s also proven to significantly reduce the spread of
fire when tested head-to-head with comparable panelling.
Used in combination with other surfaces, or as a refined
stand-alone material, Fireguard is perfect for applications
ranging from elevator linings and public corridors, to ship
manufacturing, school and hospital furnishings, and office
partitions. No wonder it’s the material of choice in high-traffic
public areas. For a versatile solution with industry-leading
fire protection performance, you can’t beat Fireguard.

Trade Essentials Fireguard is marketed and distributed by Laminex Group ABN 98 004 093 092, trading as Laminex. The colours and finishes of the products featured within the imagery in this
brochure are as close to Trade Essentials Fireguard as photographic lighting and our printing processes allow. Different camera angles, although not designed to be misleading, can sometimes distort
actual size and distances. Trade Essentials Fireguard, being comprised of natural timbers will react to direct and indirect light. Therefore, a change of the surface colour and appearance over time is
a natural characteristic, not a defect. Additionally, humidity will interact with light to accelerate the ageing process. Fireguard is non-structural and should not be used in structural/load-bearing
applications. Please obtain a copy of the terms and conditions of the Trade Essentials Fireguard 7 year limited warranty from tradeessentials.thelaminexgroup.com.au. This warranty is in addition to
