UK Building Regulations insist on effective compartmentation to prevent the spread of fire within a building. If in the building, barriers are proper installed, smoke and gases remain at the point of origin for as long as is required to allow building occupants to evacuate safely, or the emergency services to extinguish the fire, whilst retaining building structural integrity.
By firestopping voids or any services passing through compartment lines, such as cables, pipes, trunking or any other materials, we can ensure compliance and effective performance of these structural elements during a fire. Our installation experts use a range of fire stopping materials and techniques to seal gaps between fire-resisting elements and service penetrations in floors, walls and ceilings, slab edge, wall heads and more, thus maintaining the integrity of the compartment line. Such sealing systems can be made up of:
➣Intumescent Mastics
➣High-Pressure Mastics
➣Ablative Batts
➣Fire Barriers
➣Fire Compounds
➣Fire Collars and Wraps.
