Fire-Rated Duct Protection Systems — Stay Safe & Compliant
Unprotected duct work can enable the rapid spread of fire and smoke throughout a property.
Correctly designed and installed fire rated duct work for air ventilation, kitchen, smoke, and car park exhausts can all be protected with an approved and tested systems such as Fyrewrap.
Fyrewrap is a foil faced fire protection wrap/blanket which is tested and approved for 2- and 3-hour applications.
The light weight Insufrax core ensures high temperature insulation and performance.
It is 5 times lighter than fire spray, clean and easy to install with no mesh required.
What Is Fire-Rated Duct Protection?
Fire-rated duct protection is a critical passive fire protection system that helps stop the spread of fire, heat, and smoke through a building’s ductwork. Without proper protection, ducts can act like a highway for flames and smoke to move quickly between rooms and floors, putting lives and property at risk.
To prevent this, we install tested systems such as fire-rated duct wraps, fire-resistant board enclosures, and fire dampers that contain fire inside the duct and maintain the Fire Resistance Level (FRL) of walls, floors, and ceilings they pass through.
Whether it’s a kitchen exhaust duct, smoke spill duct, or general air conditioning duct, our compliant solutions help you meet Australian Standards (AS 1530.4, AS 1668.1, and AS 4072.1) and the National Construction Code (NCC), giving you peace of mind that your building’s ducts are safe, compliant, and fully protected.

Common Applications
Kitchen Exhaust Ducts
Kitchen exhaust ducts carry grease and fumes, making them a high fire risk. We install fire-rated duct wraps or shaft enclosures to keep kitchen exhausts safe and compliant with the NCC and AS 1668.1.
Smoke Spill Ducts
Smoke spill ducts remove hot smoke during a fire to keep escape routes clear. Our fire-resistant duct protection systems help maintain safe evacuation paths and meet essential passive fire protection requirements.
Air Conditioning Ducts
Air conditioning and ventilation ducts can let fire and smoke spread between fire compartments. We protect these ducts with fire-rated board enclosures and fire dampers, helping your building stay within AS 1530.4 standards.
Vertical & Horizontal Ducts
Ducts that run through fire-rated walls or floors need reliable protection. We install compliant fire-rated wraps and dampers for both vertical risers and horizontal ductwork to maintain your building’s Fire Resistance Level (FRL).
