Firestopping And Passive Fire Protection FAQs
Firestopping is a crucial component of passive fire protection. It involves the sealing of gaps, joints and service penetrations in walls and floors using fire-resistant materials.
Firestopping maintains compartmentation, preventing the spread of fire and smoke to aid in safe evacuation and protect structural integrity.
Compartmentation is a passive fire protection strategy that divides a building into fire-resistant units using walls, floors, and doors. It aims to contain fire and smoke to the source area, limiting damage, preserving structures, and aiding in safe evacuation.
The cost of passive fire protection will vary on an individual basis, with the following factors affecting the amount you’ll spend:
- Labour: Projects that require specialist installation or involve hard-to-reach areas are likely to cost more.
- Fire Rating Requirements: Materials with a longer period of fire resistance are more expensive.
- Materials: Certified or high-performance materials are more expensive upfront, but ensure the necessary regulatory compliance.
- Complexity: Retrofitting old buildings is more complex and often more expensive than brand new installations.
Here at Flux Fire, we’ll make sure you get the best price for your firestopping measures, with our experts on hand to help. So, why not get in touch today?
Several layers of regulation are important when considering the fire safety of your buildings, each applying at different stages of their lifetimes. These include:
- Building Regulations (England & Wales) – Approved Document B (Fire Safety): Outlines a number of requirements, including the proper sealing of all openings, and keeping the number of penetrations to a minimum.
- Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: Places a legal duty on a ‘responsible person’ to implement prevention methods, install them correctly, and maintain consistent checks.
- Construction Products Regulations & CE/UKCA Marking: Requires firestopping products to be tested to recognised industry standards, with installers ensuring they are tested and certified for their intended purpose.
- Building Safety Act 2022: Introduces stricter accountability for fire safety in high-risk buildings.
