Fire Protection Systems

Passive fire protection systems, or firestopping, seals and compartmentalizes room between fire-rated walls and floors. This important step in building construction saves lives. When firestopping a building, all through penetrations, such as cables or pipes, and joints, such as head-of-wall, that run through or are connected to a fire-rated wall or floor need to be sealed to prevent fire and smoke from spreading to the rest of the building. In addition to saving lives, firestopping can limit property damage in the event of a fire.
