Inhibit The Spread Of Fire & Smoke
Fire Stopping is the sealing of any penetrations through building compartments to prevent the spread of fire (including smoke and heat). A critical element of the life safety strategy of any building.
What is a Penetration in Firestopping?
A penetration, particularly in firestopping, refers to an opening made in a wall or floor assembly that requires a fire-resistance rating. These openings are typically created using a cast-in-place sleeve designed to accommodate the passage of mechanical, electrical, or structural penetrants. Such penetrants could include a single cable, multiple data cables, heating pipes, air conditioning pipework, and more.
