Fire Protection Boards in Saudi Arabia: PROMAT & Certified Fire Board Supply by Atlantis Contracting

Introduction: Fire Protection Boards in Modern Saudi Construction

As Saudi Arabia’s construction sector advances under Vision 2030, architects, consultants, and contractors are increasingly specifying fire protection boards as a superior alternative to traditional gypsum and wet plaster for passive fire protection. Fire boards offer tested, certified performance; lightweight installation; dimensional stability in high-temperature environments; and compatibility with the Kingdom’s civil defense requirements.

Atlantis Contracting is an authorized supplier and certified applicator of fire protection boards in Saudi Arabia, with proven delivery across commercial, residential, infrastructure, and hospitality mega-projects.

What Are Fire Protection Boards?

Fire protection boards are high-performance, non-combustible panels engineered specifically to provide passive fire resistance in walls, ceilings, column encasements, floor/ceiling assemblies, and structural steel protection. Unlike standard gypsum plasterboard, certified fire boards are manufactured from materials such as calcium silicate, reinforced cement, or perlite and vermiculite composites — providing stable, predictable fire resistance even when directly exposed to extreme heat.

Key Applications of Fire Boards in Construction

  • Structural steel fire protection — column, beam, and truss encasements
  • Fire-rated shaft enclosures — stairwells, lift shafts, service risers
  • Demising and corridor fire-rated partitions
  • Fire-rated ceiling and soffit linings
  • Facade backing boards and fire spandrel infill panels
  • Marine, offshore, and industrial fire protection
  • Tunnel linings and underground infrastructure

PROMATECT® — The World’s Leading Calcium Silicate Fire Board

Atlantis Contracting’s flagship fire board product is the PROMATECT® range manufactured by PROMAT, a globally recognized passive fire protection specialist. PROMATECT® boards use PROMAT’s proprietary Mineral Matrix Engineering Technology — a precisely engineered calcium silicate composition that delivers exceptional fire resistance, dimensional stability, and moisture resistance.

PROMATECT®-H

The benchmark high-density calcium silicate board for structural applications. PROMATECT®-H offers outstanding compressive strength, making it suitable for structural encasement, heavy industrial applications, and fire-rated floors. It is non-combustible (Euroclass A1), certified to EN 13501-1, and widely approved by Gulf civil defense authorities including SCDF.

PROMATECT®-L500

A lightweight version designed for partition walls, ceiling linings, and facade applications where minimizing dead load is important. PROMATECT®-L500 maintains excellent fire resistance while reducing structural demands — ideal for high-rise commercial and residential projects in Saudi Arabia.

Promaseal® Fire Sealant Range

Complementing the board systems, Atlantis also supplies Promaseal® intumescent firestop sealants and coatings, providing a complete PROMAT passive fire protection package from a single specialist contractor.
