Why Change to CAP?

Passive Fire Protection
CAP (Critical Area Protection) will provide a 60 minute fire rating on a typical paper-faced gypsum plasterboard substrate. New CAP technology and subsequent test results mean significant savings for property owners in meeting current building passive fire protection regulations. These are especially relevant on alterations and refurbishment work on existing buildings.
