Brandschutz mit Trockenbaukonstruktionen gemäß DIN 4102-4
Fire protection with drywall constructions according to unit construction catalogue DIN 4102-4
FeuerTrutz Magazin 3.2020, Seiten 12 - 15, Rudolf Müller Publishing House, Cologne, presentation of the article and free download (unformatted) via link in FeuerTrutz Brandaktuell No. 339.
Subject matter: For fire protection, drywall constructions with plasterboards are often the first choice. As an alternative to the offer of the building product manufacturers, the selection of systems is often still advantageous on the basis of the component catalogue of DIN 4102-4. The advantages and disadvantages of these closed and (semi-)open systems are explained.
