Passive Fire Protection Glasgow

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.

Fire doors are a serious contender in the main implementation of creating compartmentation in a building and they are widely brushed over. At Ark Fire Protection we provide a number of services with fire doors, whether you are looking for a new door closer or a full fire door upgrade we can offer fire door maintenance with third party accreditation.

Intumescent coatings for structural steels are a proven and effective method of protecting buildings from the risk of structural damage. All of the intumescent coatings used by Ark Fire Protection have been rigorously tested, meeting EU standards, giving confidence to our customers of advanced protection from fires which may cause threats to the structural elements of buildings.

Fire Barrier systems are useful in stopping the spread of fire and smoke in various parts of buildings, such as roofs, ceilings, and hidden spaces. Fire barrier systems are appropriate for voids that are up to 10.5 metres in size. Vertical fire barrier systems provide insulation and integrity for a maximum of 120 minutes, and friction fire barrier slabs offer up to 60 minutes of protection.

At Ark Fire Protection, we can install and maintain fire curtains that are designed to be installed in hard-to-reach areas or areas that lack structural supports that may experience movement, such as ceiling voids or lofts. We offer a complete range of fire curtains, whether you require integrity or insulation, to meet your specific needs.

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.
