When your site is close to an existing building or requires enhanced fire safety, fire-rated cabins from Wernick Hire offer peace of mind without compromising on functionality.

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.

Protection of assets

Fire outbreaks can result in significant damage to property, equipment, and important documents. Fire rated cabins offer an added layer of protection for your assets, reducing the risk of loss or damage in case of a fire emergency.

Versatility and customisation

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.
