- Where is the ideal place to install Fire Barriers?
To get the most from fire barriers, they should be installed around internal openings like doors and windows. It’s also crucial to place them where different parts of a building meet, like where an outer wall joins with a floor inside.
- What exactly is a Fire Curtain?
Think of fire curtains as protective screens in building gaps. They create separate areas to stop smoke and fire from moving freely. Our curtains meet top standards, offering up to 120 minutes of fire resistance based on BS and EN guidelines.
- Why do buildings need Fire Stopping?
Fire stopping is all about containing a fire. By dividing a building into sections, a fire that starts in one area doesn’t spread easily. This gives people a safer route out and allows emergency services to get in.
- What does firestopping mean and why is it so important?
Firestopping is making sure that key parts of a building, like walls, floors, and roofs, can withstand and limit the spread of fire and smoke. It’s vital for two main reasons: firstly, it’s the best way to protect buildings and their occupants; and secondly, it’s required by UK law.
- Could you shed some light on Fire Barriers?
Fire barriers are specially crafted materials that resist fire. They’re used to seal gaps in walls and ceilings, creating a strong barrier between different parts of a building. This means smoke and fire can’t easily spread from one section to another.
