Is your firestop installation fit for purpose?

Choosing the right firestop products for your passive fire protection installation can be tricky. Getting it wrong can result in stressful investigations, personal legal repercussions.

Therefore, for reliable firestop resistance applications you must choose the right products that are fit for purpose.

The selection of the fit for purpose products responsibility does not only lying with the specialist applicator. Principal Contractors, Architects, building owners and building management also need to be aware of the fire safety regulations and to ensure that their passive firestop installations is compliant.
