Fire protection EI 60 Conservatory
Hello.
I am planning to build a conservatory adjacent to the property line where the neighbor's garage is also located. Our conservatory will be wall-to-wall with their garage. The wall studs will go directly against their garage, and we will attach paneling to the part of the wall that extends above their garage.
So, I am wondering what the simplest way is to achieve fire protection EI 60?
Is it possible, for example, to install double layers of fire-resistant gypsum board on our side?
I have looked into various EI60 solutions, but they usually involve boards on both sides of the stud. The problem as I see it is that it will be wall-to-wall, making it difficult to attach boards on the side facing the neighbor.
Thankful for any answers.
Best regards,
Micke

Explain a little better what you mean.M mcax said:Hello.

Our conservatory will be wall-to-wall with their garage. The wall studs will go directly against their garage, and we will put paneling on the part of the wall that sticks out above their garage.

I have looked around at different EI60 solutions, but in those cases, the boards are on both sides of the stud.
The problem, as I see it, is that it will be wall-to-wall and then getting boards on the side that goes towards the neighbor.
Thankful for answers.

Does the fire protection distance also apply to a conservatory?
Do you mean that you left space between their wall and your frame so it was enough to squeeze 2x plasterboard?M mcax said:
Was it a problem to have 4x plasterboard only on "your side"?
Our wall is larger than their garage wall protrudes. 1.2m in length. And in height. Their garage is about 2x2 meters of our wall surface. Our conservatory is freestanding from their garage but looks like it's attached. So yes, I left spaceEBF22 said:
What I did inside our conservatory was to build 2 sections of 2x1 meter with drywall on the back (toward their garage). Wrapped them against moisture then lifted them in and screwed them in place. Then I overlapped drywall on our inside.
I chose to make sections just in case there would be any issue in the future, I can just take down one section without tearing down the entire wall. Sure, it was more work initially. But it saves time later if any problems arise.
There are definitely better/easier ways to fireproof. But I needed to get a fire protection description in place as soon as possible so we could get started. Wasn't willing to pay several thousand either.
Thank you very much!M mcax said:Our wall is larger than their garage wall protrudes. 1.2m in length. And in height. Their garage is about 2x2 meters of our wall surface. Our conservatory is separate from their garage but it looks like it's connected. So yes, I left space
What I did internally in our conservatory was to build 2 sections of 2x1 meters with plasterboard on the backside (towards their garage). I covered them against moisture, then lifted them in and screwed them in place. Then I overlapped plaster on our inside.

I am also looking for a quick solution to complete the building notification. Planning to have glulam panels on the outside. Do you think it's okay to cover plasterboard with wood paneling? Will it protect the plasterboard from moisture?
ps. which insulation did you choose?
I only used windproof paper behind the panel against the plaster, hoping that it will be enough. Have had my father-in-law as a bit of a sounding board since I've read most of what I know.EBF22 said:
There is no insulation, I'm not done inside. Since we had a child between building seasons. We haven't decided how we're going to do it yet insulation-wise. If we should even have any
