    Ark Liverpool Fire Stopping Services

    Discover our extensive range of Liverpool fire stopping services. Our main objectives in passive fire protection are to increase building safety during evacuations and to mitigate the life-threatening risks posed by fires. Fires typically spread via objects, which PFP materials are designed to obstruct, and from room to room, where we use intumescent materials and other techniques to decelerate fire progression. The fundamental goal of PFP is to contain or stop the spread of fire.

    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 during building construction to prevent the spread of fire. It involves creating internal walls and ceilings that contain the fire within a specific room or area of the building for a limited time. This allows occupants to find escape routes and minimises damage to the building as only a designated area is affected.

    • The premature collapse of the structure is avoided
    • Adequate measures have been taken to ensure that there is enough distance between buildings and within buildings to prevent the spread of fire.
    • Wherever it is needed, automatic fire suppression is available.
    • The spread of fire and smoke in cavities is limited.

     

    In addition to the above, the document and its amendments specify the proper methods for installing fire stopping measures. Our team of experts can assist you in this process to ensure maximum protection.
