→Isolating the Engine Room
Similar techniques could be used on the bulkheads. For example, in the engine room use a viscoelastic glue to stick a non-combustible panel on the bulkhead, then attach the composite insulation. In the living space on the other side attach furring strips using neoprene rubber. If more isolation is needed incorporate rubber mat or more insulation. Always leave an air gap to prevent conduction.
<pre>Make sure material are fire-resistive according to marine codes. A fire in the engine room can transfer by conduction to other spaces through steel bulkheads.</pre>
