Fire Stopping
What is Fire Stopping?
Fire stopping is an essential safety feature designed to limit the spread of fire and smoke within a building, protecting lives and property by creating controlled barriers. Its primary purposes include:
- Enhanced Safety: Provides occupants with extra time to evacuate safely in the event of a fire.
- Property Protection: Contains fire within specific areas, giving emergency responders a better chance to control it and reducing property damage.
- Cost Containment: Minimizes fire-related damage, helping to reduce repair and reconstruction expenses.
At its core, fire stopping involves sealing joints between fire-resistant structures—such as walls, floors, and doors—to maintain compartmentalization. Openings required for wiring, pipes, or ducts are minimized and sealed to preserve the fire resistance of each compartment.
Fire Stopping for New Constructions
In compliance with Building Regulations: Approved Document B, fire stopping is required for new public and commercial buildings, including offices, hotels, and residential complexes.
