Fire Stopping

Fire stopping, or compartmentation, is a form of passive fire protection that helps prevent the spread of a fire or smoke by using fire-resistant materials to block openings and joints between a building’s walls and floors. That can help save lives and property by giving much more time for occupants of the building to escape or for firefighters to control the fire.

Although new buildings should have suitable fire stopping measures built in, renovations and refurbishments can mean that over time the integrity of the compartmentation system is lost. Where this occurs, your local fire stopping contractors Scutum North can both detect the need for new or enhanced fire stopping measures and plug any gaps to ensure your commercial premises meet all the necessary guidelines and legislation.
