Partitions

Fire partitioning is a critical safety measure implemented during residential construction projects to effectively limit the spread of fire. This involves installing internal walls and ceilings that confine the fire within specific areas or rooms of the building for a limited period. By containing the fire, this approach enables occupants to locate escape routes and minimises damage to the building, as only designated areas are affected.

  • 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.
