Fire Stopping is vital to the stability and integrity of a building or structure in the event of fire. Buildings are separated into manageable areas of risk (Fire Compartments) by the use of passive fire protection measures which have proven fire performance properties.

These fire stopping measures are designed to restrain the growth and spread of fire, allowing the building occupants time to escape safely.
It is paramount that any gaps in these fire resisting constructions are sealed to ensure the system works to it's maximum ability. Such gaps are typically at service penetrations through walls and floors, fire protection for penetrations passing through floors, walls, ductwork etc., can provide up to four hours fire resistance.
