Fire Compartmentation Installation

​We understands that there is often a combination of factors that need to be considered before recommending and implementing the best fire protection solution for our clients. For example which product is most cost effective for the job, which products are easiest and fastest to install, which solution requires less maintenance, which solution is better suited to the operating conditions of the space or building, how does the passive fire protection solution recommended integrate with the other components of the fire protection system.

​Fire rated partitions, ceilings and floors are essential to ensure effective fire compartmentation and they are a fundamental component of any fire safety design. Fire compartmentation is basically the division of a building into “sterile” compartments, using building materials that will protect against the progression of fire and it’s associated components, flames, smoke and toxic gases, from traveling from one compartment to another. The longer the fire stopping solutions can prevent the transfer of these key deadly components then the more likely that safe evacuation of the building will be achieved.

​Restricting a fire and it’s components, flames, smoke and toxic gases, to its point of origin is a crucial component of effective fire stopping and passive fire protection of a building. It is important to preserve structural integrity of building compartments where communications, services, utilities, etc go through fire resisting walls. Key areas to consider are;

- construction linear joints
- apertures and penetrations via floors and walls
- cavity barriers
- service openings (e.g Ducts), within wall surfaces and floors
- combustible pipes and cables

There are a wide range of passive fire protection solutions and Fire-stopping products that can be utilised to effectively seal penetrations, apertures and openings within a building’s fire compartments.

These include; fire batts, covers, mastic sealants, fireboards, collars, mortars, fire curtains, putties and pillows.
