Area Separation Wall

Area Separation Wall framing is a critical component in multi-family construction, providing essential fire and sound protection between individual units.

These walls act as barriers, ensuring the safety and privacy of residents. Properly constructed area separation walls are designed to withstand fire for a specified duration, preventing the spread of flames and smoke to adjacent units. 

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 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.

  • Effective fire protection for townhomes or condos that share a wall
  • Allows for collapse of the framing exposed to fire
  • Aluminum breakaway/burn clips melt to protect firewall
