Fire Stopping for Ducting and Cables

Fire stopping for ducting and cables is a vital aspect of maintaining a building’s fire safety, addressing areas often overlooked in fire protection strategies. Ducts and cable penetrations create pathways for fire, smoke, and toxic gases to travel quickly between rooms or floors, compromising the integrity of fire compartments. 

How Does Fire Stopping for Ducting and Cables Work?

Crafted with intumescent which expands to seal gaps or voids in the event of fire, our specialised fire-stopping solutions upgrade vulnerable points by compartmentalising fires, enhancing the overall safety of all types of buildings. These solutions are designed to contain heat and smoke within designated areas, offering critical time for evacuation and enabling emergency responders to operate in a safer environment.

Fire stopping for ducting and cables also plays a key role in protecting a building’s structural elements. By limiting heat transfer and flame spread, these solutions help preserve walls, floors, and ceilings, reducing the risk of structural failure. This containment supports quicker post-fire recovery, less extensive repairs, and lower restoration costs.

Additionally, incorporating fire-stopping measures for ducting and cables helps ensure compliance with fire safety regulations. Meeting these standards demonstrates a commitment to proactive risk management, offering peace of mind to building owners, occupants, and regulatory bodies.

Fire-stopping solutions for ducting and cables are an essential part of a comprehensive fire protection system. They not only safeguard lives but also help preserve property, maintain regulatory compliance, and reduce long-term costs, making them an invaluable addition to any fire safety plan.
