Masonite Burn Time
Q: We installed one half inch masonite siding inside a 30x50 foot room for commercial use. Our town has recently become incorporated, and I heard that the code states that the ceiling must have a one-hour burn through rating. How do I find out if this is true?
No one seems to know, but I think it is much higher than one hour for half-inch masonite. Any information or direction would be greatly appreciated.
A: The manufacturer would be the best source for that kind of technical information. You may contact them at www.masonite.com.
