Fire Stopping Penetrations

Maintaining fire resistance levels requires all penetrations to be fire proofed in conjunction with the law.

Fire penetrations are used to stop the spread of heat and smoke through roofs and walls. Penetrations are commonly made for communication cables, Internet and pumping services. Unprotected openings in fire compartments will jeopardise the fire integrity of the building and allow the spread of fire and increase the damage to the building.

Fire stopping techniques are used to stop the spread of fire; flames and smoke. Achieving this is done via the application of different products such as Collars, Fire Wrap, Fire Strips, Acrylic Sealant, Fire Proof Mortar and Fire Proof Grafitex. ProFinish Coatings provides skilled fire crews who have the training and knowledge to recognise penetrations and apply the correct fire stopping techniques.
