Hi,
I have just had a wall knocked through, into one room, in my cottage.
As I understand, the RSJ needs to be fire protected with plasterboard.
I was wondering if there are any alternatives than plasterboard, that are acceptable to building regulations?
Is there any way to keep the steel exposed (perhaps via some sort of coating or something) and still meet the regulations?
