Cap for a temporary wall system providing fire barrier protection

A The barrier system for partitioning a space, comprising:

• a plurality of interlocking panels forming a modular wall;
• wherein the interlocking panels are assembled laterally adjacent to each other in the modular wall;
• wherein a connection of laterally adjacent interlocking panels in the modular wall is made through a joint formed by a first tongue and groove assembly;
• and
• a plurality of cap panels forming a modular ceiling;
• wherein the cap panels are assembled laterally adjacent to each other in the modular ceiling;
• wherein a connection of the cap panels of the modular ceiling to the interlocking panels of the modular wall is made through a joint formed by a second tongue and groove assembly;
• wherein each cap panel comprises a groove extending adjacent a first edge of the cap panel, wherein said groove is configured to engage with a tongue provided on the top edge of the interlocking panel;
• and
• wherein each cap panel further includes:
• a first side recess in an upper surface at a second edge of the cap panel which extends perpendicular to the first edge of the cap panel;
• and
• a second side recess in a lower surface at a third edge of the cap panel which extends perpendicular to the first edge of the cap panel.

• and
• a plurality of cap panels forming a modular ceiling mounted to the interlocking panels of the modular wall;
• wherein the cap panels are assembled laterally adjacent to each other in the modular ceiling;
• wherein a connection between two laterally adjacent cap panels of the modular ceiling is made through a shiplap joint;
• and
• wherein each cap panel comprises a groove extending adjacent a first edge of the cap panel, wherein said groove is configured to engage with a tongue provided on the top edge of the interlocking panel.

• a first side recess in an upper surface at one lateral edge of the cap panel to form a first half lap for the shiplap joint;
• and
• a second side recess in a lower surface at another lateral edge of the cap panel to form a second half lap for the shiplap joint.
