Combining fire resistance, sound abatement and ease of application, Temple-Inland’s SilentGuard Shaftliner is an attractive alternative to traditional masonry construction for elevator shafts, stairwells, air and mechanical shafts, grease ducts, as well as area separation walls. It is designed for installation from the perimeter of the shaft, eliminating the cost and labor of scaffolding construction.
Features:
- UL Approved for usage in fire-rated assemblies.
- Eliminates the need for scaffolding and significantly reduces labor and material costs compared to masonry.
- Non-load-bearing system, but has been designed and tested to withstand the air pressure forces generated by high-speed, high-rise elevators.
- Approved for use in several separation wall assemblies.
