Fire-rated Accommodation for Hire
RS French is a leading local provider of welfare and accommodation solutions for construction sites, projects, events and organisations.
Our fire-rated units provide a minimum of 30 minutes’ fire resistance from inside to outside, making them suitable for situations where temporary accommodation needs enhanced fire protection.
They are particularly valuable where units need to be positioned in higher-risk locations, including tight boundary conditions, close to existing buildings or within 6m of the scaffold line of a new building under construction.
Whether you’re working in a busy city centre, managing a high-footfall site or operating close to other buildings that present additional risks, our fire-rated units give you greater confidence without compromising on practicality or comfort.
