Fire Stopping

Fire stopping can be defined as the sealing of any opening to prevent fire, smoke and heat from passing through building compartments. The spread of fire, smoke and heat can be contained by creating fire resistant compartments which segment a building both vertically and horizontally. It is essential that buildings implement fire stopping to restrict fire spread.

Partitions

Fire partitioning is a safety measure used in building construction that aims to stop the spread of fire. It involves constructing internal walls and ceilings that confine the fire to a specific room or area of the building for a limited period. This allows people to locate and use escape routes easily and also reduces damage to the building as only a specific section is affected.

Expert Glasgow Fire Stopping Solutions

Incorporating effective passive fire protection measures in all new constructions and refurbishments in Glasgow is crucial to meet building regulations and enhance safety. These measures rely on compartmentalisation, which segments a building into specific sections to contain and control fires. This approach significantly slows fire spread, offering vital time for occupants to evacuate safely and minimising the risk of extensive structural damage.

Passive fire protection is crucial in larger structures like high-rise towers or facilities where evacuation takes longer, such as hospitals. In Glasgow, a city renowned for its diverse architectural heritage, ensuring adequate passive fire protection is vital for both safety and regulatory compliance. These systems are evaluated based on their ability to contain a fire for a specific duration, providing essential protection during emergencies.

At Ark Fire Protection, we’re dedicated to providing comprehensive passive fire protection services across Glasgow. Our aim is to ensure your building not only complies with all safety standards but is also thoroughly equipped to protect its occupants.
