ABSTRACT:
Building structures having improved fire resistant properties through the use of metallic meshes having high heat conductivity to cover the building structure members in order to prevent spread of fire or flame while permitting free passage of ventilating air. The mesh may be utilized to cover impervious building members such as I-beams and the like, or air pervious building members such as trusses in order to provide adequate ventilation of attic spaces. In a preferred embodiment, the metallic mesh is utilized in an air envelope wall as a fire stop to permit free passage of air while preventing spread of fire between floors.
