Ark Nottingham Passive Fire Protection Services

Explore our full range of passive fire protection and fire stopping services offered to our Nottingham clients. The primary aims of passive fire protection are to enhance building safety during evacuation and to prevent fires from posing life-threatening risks. Fire often spreads between objects, which PFP materials aim to inhibit, and from room to room, where intumescent materials and other strategies are employed to slow its progression. The core mission of PFP remains 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.
