In commercial construction, fire safety is a critical design priority. That’s why designers and contractors across New Zealand rely on BOSS Passive Fire systems — available through Potter Interior Systems — for tested, compliant, and installation-friendly solutions.

Project Spotlight: Canterbury Health Project
On a major commercial healthcare development in Canterbury, Potter Interior Systems was selected as the primary supplier of passive fire solutions. The project required a system that could handle complex service penetrations across multiple zones, including risers, plant rooms, and data areas.
The BOSS FyreBox Multi-Service Transit was chosen for its ability to consolidate multiple services — electrical, plumbing, HVAC — into a single fire-rated enclosure. This streamlined installation, reduced coordination issues between trades, and ensured consistent compliance with NZBC Clause C fire protection requirements.
