Fire Stopping Systems
To create a comprehensive passive fire protection system, all gaps in walls, floors and ceilings need to be fire stopped to prevent the spread of flames, smoke and toxic gases. These holes vary in size from single cables through to cable bundles, cable trays, ducts and pipes of varying shapes and sizes. Gaps can also be designed-in to accommodate structural movement within the building.
Advantages
- Tested with board products
- Comprehensive range of solutions
- Easy installation
- Movement capability
Every service passing through fire resistant building elements will react in a different way during a fire, so there is no single solution or product that will protect all services.
To ensure a wall or partition will provide the required fire performance, specifiers should consider:
- Fire resistant period
- Insulation requirement
- Wall, floor, linear gap
- Movement – vibration and thermal expansion
- Mechanical strength – load bearing
