Ark Fire Stopping Swansea

Explore our full range of fire stopping services available across Swansea and surrounding areas. Passive fire protection is essential for controlling the spread of fire and smoke, maintaining safe escape routes, and supporting effective evacuation strategies.

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.
