Fire Stopping
Fire Stopping Solutions
Ensure your project is protected with fire stopping solutions from APS NW
Fire stopping installation involves sealing gaps in fire compartmentation using fire-resistant materials to prevent the spread of fire and smoke. Compartmentation breaches caused by cables, pipes, and ductwork are common but often overlooked.
APS NW specialises in reinstating fire-rated elements to ensure compliance and preserve fire ratings. By sealing service penetrations, APS NW enhances compartmentation and enhances protection against fire and smoke.
What we do
Accurate fire stopping product specification is vital for safety compliance. Typically, the Principal Designer specifies, and the Principal Contractor installs during construction.

The Importance of Fire Stopping
Compartmentation is a vital component of any buildings fire strategy, forming barriers of resistance in the construction to prevent the spread of flame and smoke both vertically and horizontally. Penetrations through areas such as wall, floor and service riser barriers cause areas of weakness and risk to this strategy.
By mitigating risk at the onset of consutrction, APS NW will work in accordance with your requirements to offer protection from the outset.
