Fire Stopping is one of the most crucial aspects in today’s building process.
If there are openings and joints located on a fire-rated/resistance wall/ floor – these penetrations need to be sealed with various components. Unprotected openings in fire separations cancel out the fire-resistance ratings of the fire separations, allowing the spread of fire, usually past the limits of the fire safety plan of a building.
This is what fire stopping is – a fire protection system used to restore and maintain the fire- resistance of a wall or floor assembly.
Passive Fire Protection should be compliant in accordance with building regulations and legislation.
Firestopping Components Include:
- Intumescent sealants – Integrity and Insulation up to 240 mins
- Fire Batt - Integrity and Insulation up to 240 mins
- Fire Compound - Integrity and Insulation up to 240 mins
- Firestop pillows - Fire Batt - Integrity and Insulation up to 120 mins
- Intumescent Closures - Integrity and Insulation up to 240 mins
