Why use fire rated cabins?
Enhanced fire safety

These cabins are specifically engineered to resist fire and protect occupants in high-risk environments. These cabins are designed to withstand fire for extended periods, providing valuable time for evacuation and minimising the risk of injury or loss of life.

Compliance with regulations

Fire resistant cabins comply with stringent fire safety regulations and standards, ensuring that you meet the necessary legal requirements for fire protection on your premises. By using our cabins, you can demonstrate your commitment to safety and fulfill your duty of care towards your employees, visitors, and stakeholders.

Our cabins are available in various sizes and configurations, allowing for flexibility in meeting your specific requirements. Whether you need office spaces, control rooms, storage facilities, or accommodation units, fire rated cabins can be customised to suit your needs while providing the necessary fire resistance.
