ABSTRACT:
A fire-resistant wall structure is provided with a recessed corner guard, for absorbing impact forces, particularly at an external corner. To compensate for the relative loss of fire-resistance capability, in the area in which the wall structure is recessed to receive the corner guard structure, surfaces within the recess are provided with a layer of intumescent paint which, when exposed to sufficiently elevated temperature, expands to develop a thick, cellular foam providing a highly effective insulating layer. The intumescent paint can be applied to surfaces of the recess itself, and/or surfaces of the corner guard assembly installed in the recess. In the latter case, the paint can be applied at the factory where the corner guard components are manufactured. Significant benefits are realized in relation to prior practices of installing ceramic matting in the wall recess at the construction site.
