Also known as compartmentation and passive fire proofing, fire stopping combines proven techniques and products to offer you the best protection. Our expert fire stopping engineers will give you the best fire stopping solutions for your commercial property to give you more time for a safe and complete fire evacuation from your building, should a fire break out.
The principle behind fire stopping is to isolate a fire outbreak to a single area and prevent it from spreading. This is achieved mainly by sealing off the openings between walls, floors and joints with fire-resistant material. It’s a legal requirement to have fire stopping when there are gaps above the ceiling or spaces between two walls.
Subdividing a building down into fire compartments means it should limit the spread and enable the emergency services to tackle the fire more easily. The holes in the structure of a building that are necessary to create doors, windows and the like make it vulnerable to escaping fire and smoke.
The methods used by SECOM, along with our fully-tested and compliant fire stopping products, reinforce the safety of the fire compartments within a building. This offers ultimate peace of mind for business owners.
