Why Does Fire Stopping Matter?
Fire stopping works are essential for a number of reasons.
Key reasons include:
- Maintain compartmentation in line with fire safety standards
- Limit fire spread and protect escape routes
- Comply with findings from fire risk assessments (FRAs)
- Support passive fire protection strategies
By sealing every gap or penetration, we help ensure that fire resistance is not weakened by essential building services.
Fire Door Stopping - Services & Products
Our fire stopping solutions are tailored to suit all types of penetrations and include the following key products:
- Fire Sleeves: Fire sleeves are a crucial part of any fire stopping system, designed to seal around metal and plastic pipes where they pass through compartment walls and floors. In the event of a fire, these insulated sleeves expand and crush the pipe, effectively sealing the opening to stop the spread of fire and smoke.
- Fire Collars: Fire collars help maintain fire resistance levels at pipe penetrations. Installed around plastic pipes, fire collars expand when exposed to heat, crushing and sealing the softened pipe to block flames and smoke from entering adjacent compartments. They’re a vital component in maintaining passive fire protection.
- Fire Sealants: Fire-resistant sealants are commonly used to fill small gaps and joints around service penetrations. When exposed to high temperatures, these sealants expand to form a protective barrier, preventing the passage of fire and smoke. They are especially effective in maintaining compartmentation around cables, pipes, and ductwork.
