Commercial & Industrial Firestopping Service in Lexington, KY
Offering Superior Firestop Products & Systems Since 1982
Alpha Insulation & Waterproofing has over three decades of commercial firestopping experience, offering a variety of firestopping systems to meet our client’s needs. Our systems include intumescent fireproofing, perimeter fire containment, firestop caulking and sealants, fire-rated joint assemblies and smoke- and fire-rated through penetrations. Collectively, they shield every vulnerable surface or building component from heat and flame.
We work carefully with building designers and owners to establish unique fire containment strategies tailored to their building’s physical specifications and safety needs, ensuring fire, smoke and poisonous gas control. This includes a combination of active systems, such as sprinklers and alarms, alongside passive systems in the form of firestopping and spray fireproofing. Our expert team’s installations protect each structure and adhere to building code requirements for design, construction and occupancy.
Due to precipitation and heat levels, buildings in Lexington are at particularly high fire risk, making it even more important to choose a full-service, certified firestopping provider with experience and industry respect. An IFRM and SFRM Certified Contractor by the National Fireproofing Contractors Association (NFCA) since 2016, we approach each project with the expertise and diligence needed to protect each structure and its occupants’ safety.

Types of Firestopping Systems We Install
Alpha Insulation & Waterproofing offers a wide array of firestopping systems, each carefully chosen in coordination with our clients through pre-construction consultation and design support. These fire control options include:
Intumescent Coatings
Expanding in response to heat, these coatings form a barrier of insulation to protect a building’s structure from fire and heat. They’re often used on components like beams and exposed columns.
Insulation & Fire Blankets
Protecting walls, floors and ceilings, fire blankets are sheets of fire-resistant material such as fiberglass. Mineral wool and high-temperature foam insulation perform the same function.
Fire Caulking & Sealants
Designed for use around penetrations, including pipes, at joints between adjoining surfaces and around doors, silicone or acrylic sealants effectively halt the growth and dispersal of smoke and gases.
Firestopping Collars
The points at which pipes, flues, ducts and other systems travel through walls are particularly vulnerable during fires, and we protect them with fire collars that prevent flames from spreading from room to room.
Mortars
Mortars made of gypsum or cementitious materials form seals in multiple sites, including between wall assemblies and concrete floors, between adjoining concrete surfaces and at expansion joints in concrete slabs.
