Safety Storage FR Series
FR Series – Proven Protection, Code-Compliance Guaranteed
For maximum safety and compliance, the FM Approved FR Series hazardous material storage buildings deliver exceptional peace of mind. Equipped with a UL-approved 2-hour bi-directional fire-rated wall system, these units are ideal for high-risk areas—especially for locations less than 10ft from neighboring buildings or on narrow property lines.
Constructed to meet or surpass local building codes, FR Series storage buildings offer reliable performance and code-compliant design, keeping your operation well-protected and inspection-ready.
Construction
Exterior Wall Construction
Weatherproof, bi-directional, 2-hour fire-rated non-combustible construction, per Underwriter Laboratories (“UL”) Fire Resistance Rating Design Number U425, with two (2) layers of UL Classified fire-resistive gypsum wallboard fastened to the interior and exterior sides of steel studs. Insulation, nominally 3’’ thick, friction fit between the studs. The interior and exterior surfaces consist of galvannealed steel sheets.
Sump Wall Construction
Weatherproof 2-hour fire-rated non-combustible construction, utilizing interior & exterior continuously welded heavy gauge steel sheets for maximum spill containment protection.
Roof/Ceiling Construction
Weatherproof one hour fire resistive ceiling membrane construction, same as exterior walls, utilizing interior galvannealed steel sheets & continuously welded heavy gauge steel roof sheets for maximum durability and weather resistance. Roof/ceiling permanently attached to exterior walls.
Explosion Relief Construction
The FRE Model includes explosion vent panels, compliant with NFPA 68, and meets the 215 PSF Damage-Limiting design requirements for FM Approval.
Standard Features
