Passive Fire Protection Solutions for Insurance Providers

Fire stopping is the act of sealing any opening to prevent the passage of fire, smoke, and heat through different parts of a building. By creating fire-resistant compartments that divide the building both vertically and horizontally, the spread of fire can be effectively contained. Implementing fully compliant fire stopping is crucial for buildings to limit the spread of fire, and to limit insurance providers’ risk.

Fire doors play a crucial role in implementing compartmentation within buildings, yet they often go unnoticed. At Ark Fire Protection, we offer a range of services related to fire doors. Whether you require a new door closer or a complete upgrade to meet industry standards, we provide fire door maintenance with third-party accreditation.
