Explaining Passive Fire Protection
Passive fire protection with suitable fire-stopping reduces the spread of fire in a building by compartmentalising the building. This either supports a stay put policy or gives people time to safely evacuate. From an asset protection perspective, it can dramatically reduce the damage a fire can do before the emergency services arrive.
Fire Compartmentation
Fire compartmentation is the process of dividing your premises into a series of designated contained areas, that prevent a fire and stop its progression through a building. Fire-rated partitions, floors and ceilings are essential to ensure effective fire compartmentation and they are a fundamental component of any fire safety design.
This means that to best ensure the integrity of your compartmentation you should only use accredited installers who use approved materials.
