What is Fire Stopping

Passive fire protection, which includes compartmentalization of the entirety of buildings through fire-resistance-rated walls and floors, prevents or slows the spread of fire from the room of origin to other building spaces. This, of course, limits building damage and provides crucial additional time for the fire services to contain and extinguish the fire and for the occupants to evacuate in case of fire.

The Passive Fire Protection Federation (PFPF) states that ‘Passive fire protection is the primary measure integrated within the constructional fabric of a building to provide inherent fire safety and protection by responding against flame, heat and smoke to maintain the fundamental requirements of building compartmentalization, structural stability, fire separation and safe means of escape.’

The Importance of Fire Stopping

Fire stopping systems maintain compartmentalization at any points of mechanical, electrical or any other penetrations passing through walls and floors.

Penetration sealing not only prevents the spread of fire but also the passage of smoke and toxic gasses through gaps around services in walls, partitions and floors. We have been rudely awoken recently, however, to the revelation that overlooking fire safety standards and best practice, coupled with a diminished sense of duty and responsibility, cannot be ignored in the built environment sector any longer.

It’s so important to ensure that proper passive fire safety measures are built into buildings. They are the bedrock of fire safety.

Pipe Collars And Wraps

Pipe Collars and Wraps

Pipe collars are manufactured from a high-performance material bonded to the inside of a steel sleeve, which on exposure to heat from a fire will rapidly expand inwards to squeeze the collapsing plastic pipe until the aperture is completely sealed.

Intumescent Coating

Intumescent Coating

Intumescent Batts are a cost effective, lightweight answer to most fire stopping requirements and consist of a mineral fibre board coated with an elastomeric, ablative water based sealant for fire sealing temporary and permanent multiple-service openings in walls and floors. In the event of a fire, the correctly installed batts prevent the passage of fire and smoke from the compartment wall/floor when penetrated by building services. Intumescent Batts offer up to 4 hours fire resistance and acoustic ratings up to 59Db.

Putty Pads

Putty Pads

Putty pads are a non-setting, silicone-based product which is designed to reinstate the fire integrity of the wall when penetrated by an electrical backing box, eliminating the requirement for a baffle box. Putty Pads are Easy to install, Maintains the acoustic integrity and offer up to 2 hours resistance.
