Cavity Barriers & Fire Curtains Essex

We can’t stress enough the importance of fire cavity barriers and curtain wall systems. They aren’t just parts of a building; they’re effective solutions that stop flames and smoke in their tracks. Here are some of the numerous reasons why these systems hold such vital importance:

• Saves Lives
  In the case of a fire, cavity barriers and curtain wall systems play a vital role in providing greater levels of protection. They compartmentalise flames and smoke, which allows the occupants and staff enough time to escape.
• Limits Fire Spread
  When fire cavity barriers and curtain wall systems are installed correctly, they limit the spread of fire and smoke. Passive fire protection measures are also proven to reduce building-wide damage by containing fire and smoke in one area. They also allow occupants more time to act in a situation where every second counts.
• Protects Structure
  Fire cavity barriers and curtain wall systems restrict the spread of fire and smoke throughout a building and stop fires from causing irreparable damage to the structure of your property.
• Legal Regulations
  Legal regulations require a building to have effective fire protection measures in place in both residential and non-residential settings. The level of fire resistance required depends on the type of building, but a combination of passive and active fire protection systems should be in place to adhere to the law.
• Saves Money
  Having the correct fire protection systems in place is crucial to saving you money in the event of a fire. Although most properties are covered by insurance in the event of a fire, if fire and smoke aren’t contained, they could do unavoidable damage to belongings and valuables that could be costly to replace.
