What Are Fire Barriers?

Fire barriers are a key part of passive fire protection, designed to restrict the spread of fire and smoke through hidden cavities and openings within a building. They help maintain fire compartmentation, protect escape routes, and support compliance with current fire safety standards.

Prevents Fire Spread

Helps contain fire within designated compartments.

Controls Smoke Movement

Reduces smoke transfer through hidden cavities.

Supports Compliance

Helps meet required fire safety regulations.

Suitable Across Sectors

Commercial, industrial, residential and heritage buildings.

Fire Barrier Systems We Install

Cavity Barriers

Designed to close concealed wall, floor and ceiling cavities and reduce unseen fire spread.

Rainscreen Barriers

Used in ventilated façade systems to maintain airflow in normal conditions and seal when exposed to fire.

Flexible Fire Barriers

Suitable for timber frame, modular and complex constructions requiring adaptable fire stopping solutions.

Fire Protection Across All Sectors

Commercial

Fire barrier systems for offices, retail, schools and public buildings.

How Fire Barriers Work

Fire barriers are installed within concealed spaces to maintain compartmentation. In normal conditions they remain hidden within the structure. In the event of a fire, they help restrict flame and smoke spread through voids and cavities, limiting fire travel and improving building safety.

– Helps maintain compartment lines

– Protects hidden cavity spaces

– Slows internal fire spread

– Improves overall fire strategy
