Fire Barriers

Fire Barriers stand as critical elements in passive fire protection systems. These barriers serve as vital components in preventing the spread of fire, smoke, and toxic gases within buildings, effectively compartmentalising spaces and providing essential protection to occupants, property, and assets.

Fire Barriers are specially designed partitions or walls constructed from fire-resistant materials, strategically positioned within buildings to create compartments and limit the horizontal and vertical spread of fire. Their primary function is to contain fire within designated areas, preventing its rapid progression throughout the building and allowing occupants valuable time for evacuation and firefighting efforts.

Fire Barriers are engineered to withstand exposure to high temperatures and flames, maintaining their structural integrity and preventing the passage of fire and smoke for a specified duration.

Compartmentation: By dividing buildings into smaller compartments, fire barriers help to confine fire hazards, limiting their impact on adjacent areas and facilitating safer evacuation routes.

Smoke Control: In addition to restricting the spread of flames, fire barriers also play a crucial role in controlling the movement of smoke and toxic gases, enhancing occupant safety and aiding firefighting operations.

Structural Integrity: Fire barriers contribute to the overall structural stability of buildings, helping to preserve load-bearing capacity and prevent structural collapse during fire incidents.
