Roof & Ceiling Void Fire Compartmentation
Where a fire-resistant compartment wall terminates at ceiling level, the compartmentation may need to continue through the concealed void above to maintain the building's intended fire compartmentation line.
Our roof and ceiling void surveys identify areas where existing compartmentation may be incomplete, damaged or compromised and help determine the appropriate passive fire protection solution.
Where suitable, tested fire curtains and flexible fire barrier systems provide a lightweight and effective method of maintaining compartmentation through concealed or difficult-to-access areas.
Where Are Fire Curtains Used?
Fire curtains are particularly suited to locations where constructing a traditional fire-resistant wall using drylining, masonry or blockwork may be impractical due to weight, structural or access restrictions.
Typical applications include roof spaces, ceiling voids, lofts, service risers and areas above shopfronts and walkways, particularly where the existing structure cannot support heavier forms of construction.
