Fire Stopping Systems

The main benefit of using fire stopping items and and passive fire protection systems is that in the event of a fire it is contained in one area - one room for as long a period of time as possible. This has the obvious benefits of allowing more time for fire fighters to get to the scene and greatly reduces damage caused by the fire spreading.

FSE can supply all types of fire stopping systems and passive fire protection. Most of these come as intumescent materials or items that expand in the presence of fire thus sealing gaps in fire doors, or sealing in electrical wall switches and consumer units, or simply by expanding to protect flammable materials (wood, fibreglass, lathe and plaster) sealing out the oxygen so combustion cannot start.

Modern building regulations take fire stopping into consideration and products are available to protect all manner of doors, windows, decorative finishes, pipework and cable runs. However, in many cases, these items can be retro-fitted to heritage buildings of older construction in order to bring aspects of them up to full 1 hour fire protection.

Here is just a selection of Fire Stopping materials and items that FSE can supply.
