Fire Stopping & Passive Fire Protection
Crest Construction specialise in the restoration of fire-rated elements to uphold compliance standards and preserve fire ratings. Our focus is on sealing service penetrations, thereby enhancing compartmentation and bolstering protection against fire and smoke incidents.
What Is Fire Stopping Installation?
The installation of fire stopping involves the sealing of gaps within fire compartmentation using fire-resistant materials, effectively halting the spread of fire and smoke. Compartmentation breaches often occur due to unchecked cables, pipes, and ductwork.
What Is Passive Fire Protection?
Passive fire protection (PFP) is a set of structural and fire-resistant measures designed to contain the spread of fire and limit its impact within a building or structure. Unlike active fire protection measures, which require a triggered response, passive fire protection elements are inherently built into the structure and remain constantly active without the need for activation.
We can offer the following certified fire stopping and passive fire protection products:
- Ablative coated fire batt
- Riser compartmentation
- Intumescent mastic
- Fire collars
- Intumescent acoustic putty pads
