When I finished off the extensions to my former family home, I was lucky
enough to get 50 sheets of 16mm-thick Gib-board (Gibraltar Board) aka
drywall in the USA. This is fire-glass reinforced calcium sulphate encased in
a thick paper.
It has a fire-resist rating of two hours.
I'm surprised that only 30 minutes is required.
Question: is this room for just the fuel tanks, or is the furnace in there too?
If the latter, sealing it off will deny it the air it needs for combustion.
