What is Fire Stopping?

Fire Stopping is a passive fire protection method that prevents the spread of fire, smoke, and toxic gases through a building by sealing penetrations and gaps in walls, floors, and ceilings.

Why is Fire Stopping Essential?

Life Safety - Reduces fire and smoke spread for safer evacuation.
Code compliance - Meets BS 476 and EN 1366 standards.
Insurance & Liability Protection - Ensures compliance with fire safety laws.
Structural Protection - Limits fire damage, protecting building integrity.

Our Fire Stopping Solutions:

Intumescent Fire Collars & Wraps - Expands under heat to seal off penetrations.
Fire Dampers - Controls smoke and flames in HVAC systems.
Cavity Barriers & Fire Batts - Seals voids in walls and ceilings to prevent fire and smoke spread.
