Passive fire protection uses built-in materials and systems to slow the spread of fire and smoke.
They are used in ceilings, walls, floors, roofs, and around service penetrations like cables and pipes.
No. Passive fire protection works in conjunction with active fire systems like alarms, sprinklers, and extinguishers. Together, they form a comprehensive fire safety strategy, with passive measures limiting spread and active systems detecting or suppressing the fire.
All our products are compliant with UK Building Regulations and support requirements under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. We ensure each item is suitable for its intended application and rated to match the fire resistance of its environment.
Product selection depends on the type of barrier, required fire rating, and what services pass through it. We assess your premises and advise on the most effective, regulation-compliant solution tailored to your building’s structure and fire safety needs.
