Abstract This review rigorously analyzes the advancement of fiber-reinforced geopolymer plasters for fireproofing purposes in construction. Geopolymers possess superior thermal resistance and reduced environmental impact relative to ordinary Portland cement. The addition of fibers such as steel, glass, basalt, and synthetic materials markedly improves mechanical strength, thermal insulation, and fire resistance. Recent research is comprehensively summarized, focusing on the mechanical behavior,
