Passive Fire Protection Solutions
Whether new build or existing, all occupied buildings must have adequate fire compartments. Firestopping is a very effective method for maintaining fire compartments.
Maintaining fire compartments in buildings, allowing for safe evacuation and property preservation.
Passive Fire Protections purpose is to protect occupants and maintain the integrity of a building in the event of a fire.
Fire compartmentation sub divides a building into smaller manageable zones. By installing fire doors, firestopping and fire barriers, the spread of smoke and fire is limited by containing it in a controlled area for a period of time. Passive fire protection ensures an adequate means of escape and minimises the extent of smoke and fire damage by providing protection to adjoining buildings in the event of a fire.
How does passive fire protection work?
Should a fire occur, various fire stopping systems help to contain smoke, fire and heat a for a predetermined period of time. Fire stopping products are passive and inert, they maintain their integrity when exposed to heat. They may expand to close plastic pipes as they melt but they require no external activation or mechanical assistance. Therefore they do not rely on human intervention.
When services are removed or replaced as they pass through a fire wall or floor, they will create an imperfection in the wall, this allows fire and smoke to pass through these gaps, a few small holes can cause an entire fire compartment to fail and allow the fire to spread throughout the building, compromising escape routes and leading to a complete loss.
