All modern buildings are designed with fire compartmentation in mind. This means that in the unfortunate event of a fire breaking out in one part of the building, the spread of the fire to other areas is slowed. A large part of this is achieved structurally - e.g. by having walls coated with gypsum plaster and cavities filled with non-flammable materials. Where there are spaces connecting compartments (such as doorways and serving hatches) specialist fire containment systems can be installed.
Which buildings need fire containment systems?
Fire containment systems are essential for any building that has multiple occupants. These include lots of residential, commercial, industrial, and public buildings. The systems we supply and install help to protect the lives and property of the people inside the building, as well as any firefighters and emergency services who attend the fire. Fire containment systems also help to comply with the UK building regulations and fire safety legislation, which require buildings to have adequate means of escape and fire resistance.
