Firestopping Contractors

Restricting a fire and its 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 and utilities go through fire resisting walls.

Key components of the firestopping techniques include fire batts, covers, mastic sealants, fireboards, collars, mortars, fire curtains, putties and pillows, which are used to effectively fire-stop linear joints (head of wall to concrete slab), apertures and penetrations via floors and walls, cavity barriers, service openings and ducts and and combustible pipes and cables.
