A cover or joiner is configured to cover the respective channels and/or joins between adjacent thermal insulation panels of a structural fire protection system, such as for marine vessel deckheads and bulkheads. The cover or joiner can include an elongate member, such as a strip, that includes intumescent insulation, and optionally can include one or more fastener arrangements, such as use of holes for attaching the cover or joiner to the underlying thermal insulation panels and support framework. The cover or joiner can be insulated with 6 mm thick intumescent insulation material and attached (e.g., screwed) to the framework. A front face of the cover or joiner (front facing away from the panels) can be of metal, such as stainless steel or galvanised steel.
A cover or joiner providing thermal protection for one or more joints between thermal insulation panels of a structural fire protection system, the cover or joiner including a non-combustible substrate supporting an intumescent thermal insulation material, the cover or joiner configured to respectively cover or join one or more joints between panels of non-combustible material of the thermal insulation panel system, the intumescent thermal insulation material expanding on exposure to sufficient heat to provide a thermal seal at the joint between the panels.
