Primero comprobaría con su departamento de edificio local para descubrir qué códigos están en su área. En todos los proyectos de construcción he hecho una pared del fuego era siempre un perno prisionero, un metal o una madera con 5/8" mampostería seca en ambos lados de la pared. Algunos códigos técnicos de la edificación requieren dos capas de 5/8" mampostería seca en ambos lados para darle un rato más largo de la quemadura.
5/8 dubble layer fire proof drywall on both sides of metal or fire treated wood studs.
