Residential Passive Fire Protection

Fire stopping is a vital practice in building safety. It entails sealing all openings to prevent the spread of fire, smoke, and heat between different compartments. By establishing fire-resistant compartments vertically and horizontally, the potential damage caused by a fire can be contained. Implementing fire stopping is particularly crucial in residential constructions to limit the impact of fire incidents.

Fire doors play a vital role in establishing compartmentation in residential premises. We provide a comprehensive range of fire door services – whether you need a new door closer or a complete fire door upgrade, our team is equipped to deliver fire door maintenance with third-party accreditation.

External Fire Barrier systems provide an effective solution to prevent the spread of fire and smoke in roof and ceiling areas, as well as concealed voids in residential buildings.

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.
