What Is Fire Stopping and Why Is It Essential?
Fire stopping is a key element of passive fire protection. Whenever cables, pipes, ventilation ducts or other services pass through fire-rated walls and floors, they create openings. If these openings are not properly sealed, fire and smoke can spread quickly between compartments.
Our professional fire stopping services are designed to restore the fire resistance of those walls and floors using tested and certified systems. This ensures the building performs as intended in the event of a fire.
Effective fire stopping helps to:
-
Contain flames within designated compartments
-
Limit the movement of smoke and toxic gases
-
Protect escape routes
-
Reduce structural damage
-
Support compliance with UK fire safety legislation
Fire stopping is not simply filling a gap with general foam. The correct product must be used for the specific penetration type and fire rating.
