Hi All,
A buyer's home inspector pointed out that we needed to put drywall or some type of metal skin over the attic ladder that is in the garage in case of a fire. I'm trying to figure out what fire rating 1/2 drywall has and how I can achieve that same rating with some type of lightweight metal skin like aluminum. The ladder is a werner 10 foot attic ladder. It currently has 1/4 or 3/8's plywood and after adding 1/2 drywall, the ladder sags. The reason I'm leaning towards aluminum is because 1/2 inch drywall causes the ladder to sag from weight. Thanks, Daniel |

Get stronger or more springs. Lightweight skin of aluminum won't be good, conducts heat too quickly. Reply to NG only - this e.mail address goes to a kill file. |
