Hi all
Does anyone know what a fireseal to a boundary wall is? Just interested in knowing what the difference between an ordinary garage wall and a firesealed one is? Should I be able to see this fireseal?
Thanks all.

Re: Meaning of fireseal 2Apr 19, 2013 12:50 am Ok. I'm not 100% sure. But. I'm going to take an educated guess here. I also have a fire seal on my boundary wall. Notice how you have an extra skin of bricks around the top of your boundary wall, and then continues to the back door? I think that may be it, or at least has something to do with it :/ But I would also be interested in hearing a more solid response!

Thanks Jaceb I will have a look at it again today and see if I can see if we have that extra 'skin'. Does anyone else on here have this and knows any more about it?
