The safety of students is a top priority for universities and accommodation providers. One crucial aspect of ensuring safety is through the implementation of passive fire protection measures. At Ark Fire Protection, our team has years of experience in the design, installation, and maintenance of passive fire protection systems in student accommodation.
Committed to ensuring the safety of students, our team has the expertise in operating within open environments across the UK. Our focus is on the safety of staff and students while delivering industry-leading passive fire protection solutions. With student accommodation being a highly regulated area, we understand the importance of compliance and work closely with our clients to ensure all standards are met.
Discover our extensive selection of passive fire protection services designed for student accommodations across the United Kingdom. Our top priorities revolve around two key objectives: enhancing structural safety to facilitate efficient evacuations and minimising the risks associated with fire incidents. Take a moment to explore our comprehensive service offerings outlined below.
Fire stopping involves sealing openings to prevent the passage of fire, smoke, and heat in various areas of a building. By creating fire-resistant compartments that divide the building vertically and horizontally, the spread of fire can be contained effectively. It’s essential to implement fully compliant fire stopping measures in buildings to limit the potential risks to students and minimise the spread of fire.
Fire doors are vital for ensuring compartmentation in student accommodation. At Ark Fire Protection, we provide a comprehensive range of services related to fire doors. Whether you need a new door closer or a complete upgrade to meet industry standards, we offer fire door maintenance and installation with third-party accreditation.
Intumescent coatings for structural steel are a tried and tested solution in safeguarding buildings against the potential risks of structural damage. We exclusively use intumescent coatings that have undergone rigorous testing and meet EU standards. Our clients can have complete confidence in the advanced fire protection these coatings provide, minimising threats to the structural integrity of their buildings.
External Fire Barrier systems offer an effective solution for preventing the spread of fire and smoke in roof and ceiling areas, as well as concealed voids within buildings. These systems are designed to be suitable for voids located up to 10.5 metres. Vertical fire barrier systems provide both insulation and integrity for up to 120 minutes, while friction fire barrier slabs offer a protective duration of up to 60 minutes.
Ark Fire Protection specialises in installing and maintaining fire curtains made from flexible fibre. These curtains are specifically designed for installation in challenging areas or spaces without sufficient structural support, such as ceiling voids or lofts. Whether you need enhanced integrity or insulation, we offer a comprehensive range of fire curtains tailored to your specific requirements.
Fire partitioning is a safety measure used during the construction of student accommodation 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 students and staff to find escape routes and minimises damage to the building as only a designated area is affected.
Our FRA services for student accommodation include reinstating or implementing passive fire protection measures that currently do not meet the required fire safety standards. Our remedial works for fire risk assessment aim to elevate your building’s fire safety standards to the necessary level, in line with the latest guidelines and regulations.
