Passive Fire Protection - Fire Stopping

Passive Fire Protection (PFP) is an essential part of a building’s overall fire safety strategy. Unlike active systems such as fire alarms and sprinklers, passive fire protection is built into the fabric of the building and requires no external activation to perform its intended function during a fire.

Its purpose is to contain fire and smoke, maintain fire compartmentation and restrict the spread of fire throughout a building. This helps protect escape routes, provides occupants with valuable time to evacuate safely and supports the protection of the building structure.

Passive fire protection incorporates a range of specialist systems and products, including fire stopping, fire-resistant walls and partitions, fire doors, cavity barriers and structural fire protection.

At Firewall, our experienced and accredited team provides specialist passive fire protection surveys, installation, inspection and compliance services across the UK.

Passive & Active Fire Protection

A building is protected by both Passive & Active Fire Protection, in most cases Passive Fire Protection goes mostly unnoticed, such as Fire Curtains, Fire Dampers, Fire Doors, Fire Cavity Barriers & Fire Stopping products sealed around service penetrations that pass through Fire Compartmentation walls.

Active Fire Protection includes Fire Alarms, Smoke Detectors, Fire Extinguishers & Sprinkler Systems, together both Active & Passive systems are designed and built into a buildings structure to offer the best protection to both occupants & property ultimately saving lives.

Over the past 10 years, we have worked closely with major companies throughout the UK, alongside manufacturers of fire-stopping products and building designers, to ensure the correct fire-stopping solutions are installed to the buildings requirements.
