Fire Stopping Installation

Restricting a fire and it’s components; flames, smoke and toxic gases, to its point of origin is a crucial component of effective fire stopping and passive fire protection of a building. It is important to preserve structural integrity of building compartments where communications, service and utilities go through fire resisting walls. Key areas to consider are;

• construction linear joints
• apertures and penetrations via floors and walls
• cavity barriers
• service openings within wall surfaces and floors
• combustible pipes and cables

There are a wide range of passive fire protection solutions and fire-stopping products that can be utilised to effectively seal penetrations, apertures and openings within a building’s fire compartments. These include; fire batts, covers, mastic sealants, fireboards, collars, mortars, fire curtains, putties and pillows.
