About Firewalls products
This Firewalls category covers AAC panel systems built into structural framing where a wall must provide fire separation between adjoining dwellings or tenancies. In Australia the fire-resistance level required for that separation is set by the National Construction Code and depends on the building classification and the wall's position, so the project's building surveyor or fire engineer confirms it before an assembly is chosen. Products listed include the Walsc Intertenancy Wall System 75, an AAC panel system for intertenancy walls.
Intertenancy firewalls
The Walsc Intertenancy Wall System 50 is also listed. Set out rooms from the full wall build-up, including linings and any applied finish, rather than from the panel name alone, and follow the manufacturer's junction details where the wall meets floors, roofs and adjoining construction. Match each system's test evidence to the required fire-resistance level for its location. Acoustic performance between dwellings is assessed separately from fire performance.
Does this category cover IT firewalls?
No. A hardware firewall and firewall security manager software belong to network security, while the firewalls products listed here are physical wall systems for fire separation.
Can services pass through an intertenancy wall?
Resolve routes before installation and use penetration details approved for the specified system. Any opening made later needs assessment before work begins.
How do the 50 and 75 systems differ?
Compare each system's documented fire and acoustic performance against the project drawings. Model numbers alone do not establish finished thickness or suitability.
