If a fire occurs in your building, it can cause structural damage, high costs and possible injury or loss of life if the right fire protection systems aren’t in place.
Commercial buildings are required to have a combination of active and passive fire protection systems to meet code requirements to keep the structure and its occupants safe. Firestopping helps you meet passive fire protection system requirements and gives you and your building’s occupants peace of mind.
Firestopping relies on the compartmentalization of various building components, including fire-rated walls, joints and floors. Firestopping prevents the spread of a fire within a building by sealing every possible opening.

FAQ
Can you paint over firestopping?
Certain parts of a firestopping system can be painted. For example, fireproof intumescent coatings can be color-matched to your building’s interior. Before you apply paint to any firestopping material, consult an experienced professional at Alpha Insulation & Waterproofing.
What’s the difference between firestopping and fireproofing?
Your building’s fire protection system should include a combination of firestopping and fireproofing. Fireproofing protects the structure from collapse during a fire, while firestopping stops fires from spreading from one area of the building to another.
Do you have to firestop both sides of a wall?
It depends on the materials used. Fire caulking is one example of a firestopping material that must be applied to both sides of a wall for complete protection. When a contractor from Alpha Insulation & Waterproofing works with you to design your firestopping system, you can rest assured that the materials will be placed correctly so your building is up to code.
Where is firestopping required?
Firestopping is used to seal any penetration to prevent smoke or gas from spreading throughout the building. Depending on the size and layout of your building, this might include flooring, wall assemblies and ceilings between floors.
