Fire Barriers

Fire Barriers That Prevent the Spread of Fire & Smoke

What Are Fire Barriers and How Do They Work?

Fire barriers are essential passive fire protection elements designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke between different parts of a building. By using advanced fire resistance materials and fireproofing solutions, fire barriers contain fires within specific compartments, safeguarding occupants and minimising property damage.

FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

What are fire barriers and why are they important?

Fire barriers are passive fire protection systems designed to contain fire and smoke within specific compartments of a building. They protect occupants, minimise property damage, and ensure compliance with UK fire safety regulations.

Fire barriers are installed in walls, ceilings, floors, and service voids to maintain compartmentation and prevent the spread of fire and smoke throughout a property.

Cavity barriers are a type of fire barrier installed within concealed spaces, such as wall cavities or ceiling voids, to stop fire and smoke from travelling through hidden areas. They are essential for maintaining fire compartmentation.

Fire stopping seals penetrations and gaps around services like pipes and cables, while fire barriers and cavity barriers create larger structural protection to contain fire within designated compartments. Both work together to enhance passive fire protection.
