Fire barriers subdivide large voids such as roof spaces and ceiling voids into fire-resisting zones. They slow the spread of fire and smoke, protect structural elements and buy valuable time for evacuation and firefighting.
From survey to certification
- Site assessment to establish where barriers are required and what fire rating is needed.
- Selection of a tested barrier system suited to the space, structure and services.
- Installation to the manufacturer's instructions, formed carefully around existing structure and services.
- Integration with fire stopping, fire doors, cavity barriers and compartment walls.
- Full documentation for building control, insurers and ongoing maintenance.
Working in occupied buildings
Much fire barrier work takes place in buildings that stay open, such as schools, health centres and offices. We plan around the people using the building, keep areas safe and tidy, and can work out of hours where that reduces disruption.
Cost-effective protection
Fire barriers are one of the most effective and economical ways to improve the fire resilience of an existing building, particularly where large open roof or ceiling voids run across compartment lines.
