Fire Doors & Fire Stopping
What Is Passive Fire Protection?
Unlike active systems like sprinklers or alarms, passive fire protection is built into the fabric of the building. It’s all about compartmentation – preventing the spread of fire and smoke through walls, floors, and ceilings.
Fire Doors
Fire doors are a key component of any passive fire protection strategy. They’re engineered to resist fire for a specific period (typically 30, 60, or 120 minutes), allowing safe evacuation and limiting fire spread.
Features & Benefits:- Certified fire resistance (FD30, FD60, etc.)
- Intumescent seals to block smoke and flames
- Strong, durable construction to withstand heat
- Maintains integrity of escape routes
- Mandatory for stairwells, corridors, and fire compartments
Fire Stopping
Fire stopping involves sealing service penetrations, voids, and joints in fire-rated walls and floors to maintain compartmentation.
Common Applications:- Around pipes, cables, and ducts
- In wall/floor junctions
- In riser cupboards, plant rooms, and service corridors
We use third-party certified fire stopping materials and methods to ensure full compliance with BS 476, BS EN 1366, BS EN 13501 and Approved Document B.
