Why Is Firestopping Important?
Firestopping materials are designed to stop the spread of a fire from one room to another through the empty spaces in walls, ceilings, floors or around penetrations made for pipes and cables. By sealing these areas and keeping the fire contained in one room for as long as possible, there is more time for the occupants to evacuate safely and for first responders to arrive and stop the spread of the fire.
Firestopping is required by code in most commercial buildings as part of a larger fire protection plan that includes active and passive fire protection systems.
Active measures like fire alarms and duct detectors are used to detect fires, while fire sprinklers and suppression systems fight fires directly. Passive protection like fireproofing allows beams, columns and other structural components to last longer in a fire, while firestopping works to keep the fire contained.
We serve Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and the greater southeastern United States.
