Firestop products fit for purpose

Selecting and installing a fit for purpose fire stop system in new and existing buildings can be a minefield. Getting it wrong can result in stressful investigations, personal legal repercussions. Universal, off the shelf products, whose labels offer ‘Up to x hours’ universal fire resistance to all your fire stopping problems are often misleading and don’t actually highlight the limited circumstances in which the declared fire resistance can be achieved. Therefore, for reliable firestop resistance applications you must choose the right products that are fit for purpose. This responsibility is not confined to specialist sub-contractors. Architects, Main Contractors, building owners and Building Control, also need to be able to be provided with some comfort that an installation is compliant.
