Fire Stopping
For compartmentation (fire stopping) to be effective, all potential sources of airflow must be stopped using fire-resistant materials. This includes joints, pipes, ducts, penetration voids and ceiling voids.
Contractors such as plumbers or electricians often unknowingly compromise fire compartments, this is why it’s essential to carry out regular inspections.
