Fire Stopping |
It is obvious that services passing through
unsealed openings in fire resisting elements of structure
will also allow flames, smoke and hot gases to pass through
creating an unnecessary hazard. We are able to supply and
install a selection of products designed to seal these gaps,
providing an effective fire resistance of up to 4 hours. The
type of product used would depend upon the special needs on
site. |
| Compound & Coated Panel Systems |
Mortar systems are used where mechanical
strength is required such as service penetrations in floors
which may be required to accept foot traffic or around fire
dampers which require rigid support.
|
|
They are also ideal for sealing odd shaped
or poorly accessible spaces in horizontal penetrations because
the mortar will flow around the services completely filling
the void. Mortars are available in densities typically between
800kg/m3 to 2000kg/m3.
|
Mineral wool slabs for fire stopping are
supplied in various forms; often referred to as batts, slabs
or panels. Manufactured from a range of high melting point
mineral wool of densities ranging from 100kg/m3 to 200kg/m3.
They can be used in a wide variety of fire stopping applications
to seal penetrations through walls and floors and, being softer
than mortar, allow the easy installation of further services.
However the seal must be properly reinstated after further
services have been installed. |
