Correctly sealing fire penetrations proves to be an ongoing challenge for plumbers in today’s built environment. Pipeworks, and the gaps around them, which are used for plumbing and drainage in buildings, pose a risk if not treated, and therefore maintain the integrity of a fire protection barrier system. 

Fire Stopping is our third pillar of passive fire protection, and pertains to how service penetrations and all openings in walls, floors and ceilings are managed to uphold their fire-resistance rating.

Fire Stopping solutions for plumbers should be considered in the early stages of a project, to ensure penetrations are correctly supported on both sides, treated and will close in the event of fire to prevent the passage of flames and flammable, toxic gases.

Progressive Materials stocks Promat’s Fire Stopping Systems, which have been tested and assessed in line with the National Construction Code. Our solutions are designed to impede the spread of fire through penetrations such as pipes used in plumbing and drainage services. We work with plumbers to ensure they are maintaining the fire-resistance rating of walls, floors and ceilings when installing pipes, through the provision of a variety of products such as pillows, fire batts, fire mortar, fire mastic’s, fire collars and seals.
