The Marino\WARE Area Separation Wall is constructed once the framing for one multistory unit is complete and prior to the construction of the interior framing on the adjacent unit. The area separation wall is constructed a minimum 3/4” away from the adjacent framing, which is typically constructed from wood. In many cases the area separation wall is positioned 1” away from the wall framing to accommodate the 1” Liner Board panels used as fire blocking between the floor levels.

Breakaway Clip (BA)
BA clips allow a fire damaged structure to
collapse while permitting the fire wall to remain in
place, protecting adjacent units.
