The Future Of Fire-Rated Fencing That Takes Outdoor Spaces to the Next Level

Today's urban environment demands outdoor spaces to work harder than ever before. FlameWall, New Zealand's first fire-rated fence panel provides a safe, smart, and stylish solution for boundary restrictions. Designed for architects, engineers and specifiers, FlameWall offers a clear compliance pathway to meet NZBC Clauses C3 and C6 while maximising outdoor space.

The placement of outdoor structures such as garden sheds against legal boundaries typically requires adhering to a ‘minimum distance’ landscape design, a frustrating regulation that can significantly limit outdoor space especially in medium-density housing where every square metre is valuable. The FlameWall fencing panel offers a solution to these spatial challenges, allowing structures to be positioned on legal boundaries without compromising safety or compliance.

FlameWall has significantly enhanced the dynamics of usable space in outdoor areas since its launch last year. Boundaryline Fencing Systems invested in the two-year project, which included a rigorous 12-month testing process to ensure compliance with the New Zealand Building Code C3 and C6. This modular solution boasts a tested Fire Resistance Rating (FRR) of -/60/-, making it an ideal choice for structures such as garden sheds located near a legal boundary. Designed for simplicity in installation, FlameWall represents a significant advancement in both safety and space management for outdoor environments.

FlameWall key features:

1. Fire-rated protection 

FlameWall has been rigorously tested and achieved an FRR rating of -/60/-, ensuring robust fire resistance for critical areas near legal boundaries.

2. Modular system

The system's design facilitates straightforward specification and installation, allowing for efficient setup, reducing costs and time.

3. Space maximisation

By enabling the placement of garden sheds and other structures close to legal boundaries, FlameWall helps maximise outdoor space.

4. Dual-sided utilisation 

FlameWall can be employed on both sides of a legal boundary, providing flexibility in diverse building scenarios.

5. Seamless integration

Designed to integrate seamlessly with all Boundaryline fence systems, FlameWall offers versatility in design and application.

6. Customisable appearance

The fence system can be painted in any colour that adheres to the Boundaryline FlameWall PS1 and Install Guide, allowing for aesthetic customisation.

Boundaryline's technical team can provide PS1 documentation, installation guidance and specification advice to ensure your project meets fire safety requirements.
