Russian term or phrase: противопожарное перекрытие
I am a lit bit confused about which word to be used for перекрытие. Whether to use covering, roofing, ceiling or any other word which suits the present context.
Please suggest.

Explanation:
In the context of buildings, "coating" might be more appropriate (paints etc). See classification in reference.
