When Is Passive Fire Protection Needed?

Fire protection is crucial during the construction or renovation of any building. We recommend integrating passive fire protection measures from the design stage to maintain safety, using methods such as installing fire-rated doors, applying intumescent coatings, and fitting smoke-barrier walls.

These measures help to contain the spread of fire and smoke, providing a safe evacuation route.

Fire compartmentation is vital in buildings such as hospitals, schools, and multi-storey residential structures, where uninterrupted operation and occupant safety are paramount. In warehouses and industrial facilities, protecting key areas can prevent significant damage and costly downtime.

Buildings where fire compartmentation is compromised require urgent intervention to restore firebreaks that meet the relevant British Standards, such as BS 476 and BS EN 1364.
