Fire Protection

In modern office buildings, fire safety is essential to protecting people, property, and business continuity. While walls and floors are designed to compartmentalise fire and smoke, these barriers are often penetrated by cables, pipework, ducting, and other building services. Without effective firestopping, these openings can allow fire and smoke to spread rapidly throughout the building, compromising escape routes and increasing the risk of damage and downtime.

Effective firestopping helps maintain the integrity of fire-rated walls and floors, supporting compliance with building regulations while creating safer working environments for occupants. In office spaces where layouts and services frequently evolve, reliable passive fire protection is especially important to ensure protection remains intact as buildings adapt over time.

Beyond life safety, firestopping can also contribute to improved acoustic performance, airtightness, and overall building efficiency helping to create office environments that are safer, more comfortable, and fit for long-term performance.

Recommended Firestopping Solutions

Penetration Seals

Seal gaps around pipes, cables, conduits, and service penetrations to help prevent the passage of fire and smoke through compartment walls and floors.

Linear Joint Seals

Protect movement joints within walls and floors while allowing for building movement without compromising fire resistance.

Fire-Rated Coatings

Provide flexible sealing solutions for complex or irregular openings commonly found in office fit-outs and refurbishment projects.

Collars and Wraps

Designed for combustible pipe penetrations, helping maintain compartmentation in the event of a fire.

Combining firestopping with airtightness and sealing solutions can help improve overall building performance while supporting compliance and occupant safety.
