Fire Stop Solutions to Protect Your Property

At Abacus Fire & Security, we specialise in professional fire stop installations that help contain fires and save lives. Fire stopping is a critical part of passive fire protection in any building. It ensures that walls, floors, and ceilings resist fire, smoke, and toxic gases for as long as possible. This gives people time to evacuate and protects property from serious damage.

We design our fire stop services to seal the small gaps and penetrations left by pipes, cables, ducts, and structural joints. Without this protective sealing, these areas can become dangerous pathways for flames and smoke to travel through a building. That’s why proper fire stopping is essential for slowing the spread of fire in any environment.

What Is Fire Stopping?

Fire stopping is the process of restoring the fire-resistance rating of a wall or floor. This applies when something penetrates the wall or floor. These gaps are common in commercial and residential buildings.

They occur because of the need for utilities like electrical wiring, plumbing, and ventilation. When left untreated, they compromise the integrity of fire-resistant barriers.

At Abacus Fire & Security, we assess these areas carefully. We then apply tested systems such as intumescent sealants, wraps, pillows, collars, and fire-resistant boards. We select and install each component based on your building’s design and fire strategy. Our expert team ensures your fire-stopping solution meets all current fire safety regulations and building standards.

Why Fire Stopping Matters

The danger of fire increases dramatically when flames can move unchecked between rooms or floors. The spread of fire can result in catastrophic damage, putting lives and critical infrastructure at risk. Fire stopping systems not only protect escape routes and allow for safe evacuation. They also help fire and rescue services work more effectively by containing the fire within a defined area.

Without a proper fire stop system, the structure of a building could fail much sooner. As a result, the potential for loss rises significantly. Neglecting fire stopping can lead to serious consequences. These may include legal liability, insurance claim issues, and a heightened risk of injury or death.
