FIRE

OPEN TO PREVENT FIRE

Fire Door

Inspection

Maintenance

and Replacement

Fire doors are a crucial part of any

public, commercial or

multiple-occupancy buildings

protection strategy. They resist fire

and smoke, protect escape routes

and effectively save lives, but only

if they work properly. Legislation

dictates that the building owner is

responsible, and that Fire Doors

should be checked every 6 months

and moreover, you need to show

evidence of this.

Our certified Fire Door Inspection

& Maintenance service offer full

in-depth reporting, maintenance,

repair and replacement services to

ensure that your building is safe

from potential fire hazards.

Fire Protection

for Ceilings and Walls

in Existing/Heritage

Buildings

Fitzpatrick Insulation & Passive

Fire Protection can provide a

Fire-resistant coating for

upgrading plasterboard and

lath-and-plaster ceilings to

one-hour protection.

This coating system offers an

excellent solution to

refurbishment projects where

ceilings and walls cannot be

replaced with new plasterboard

products, allowing the original

features to remain in Graded

historical buildings.

Fire protection for

timber ceilings, walls

doors and floors

Fitzpatrick Insulation & Passive Fire

Protection have a wide variety of

solutions for fire protection to

timber which is especially effective

in refurbishment projects, often

allowing existing architectural

features to remain in place.

Solutions provided include

achieving Class 0 & 1 spread of

flame to panelled timber as well as

achieving 30- & 60-minutes fire

resistance to load bearing

floorboards and joists.

Fire Protection

for Electric Cables

Fitzpatrick Insulation & Passive Fire

Protection provide intumescent

fire-retardant coatings designed for

cables with plastic casing to prolong

the functions of the cables and

inhibits PVC fumes in the event of a

fire. When exposed to fire or heat,

the product develops a microporous

intumescent foam layer which

protects the cable with its low caloric

conductivity. Tested to BS476 Part 22

(1987), achieving an integrity of 4

hours. The cables continued to carry

current for 97 minutes.

Fire Protection

for Structural Steel

It can take just a few minutes for

unprotected steelwork in a building

to attain temperatures of around

550ºC in a fire. At this temperature,

steelwork loses its load bearing

capacity by up to 50% and the

structure is likely to collapse, giving

little time for people to evacuate and

even less time for the fire service to

bring the fire under control.

Fitzpatrick Insulation & Passive Fire

Protection protect your steel

structure by applying intumescent

coatings providing up to 2 hours fire

resistance. Intumescent coating

reacts in a fire situation by expanding

and forming an insulating char layer

up to 50 times the paints original

thickness.

continuity

Fire Stopping / Penetration

Sealing systems

Fire Stopping is a passive fire

protection method designed to

diminish the opportunity for fire to

spread through unprotected

openings in fire rated walls and

floors. Fire stopping systems are

designed and applied by Fitzpatrick

Insulation & Passive Fire Protection

to restore the continuous

fire-resistance of building

assemblies, impeding the spread of

fire by filling the openings in them

with fire-resistant materials in areas

such as:

• Multi-service openings

through walls and floors

• Blank service openings

through walls and floors

• Combustible pipes (plastics)

• Cavity barriers

• Construction joints

• Any imperfection of fit to a

fire-rated building element

Fire & Smoke Barriers

Fire & Smoke Barriers prevent the

spread of fire through large

building voids and also provide

compartmentation between

different areas within a building.

Fire & Smoke Barriers ensure no

fire or smoke can spread from

one compartment to the next

and ensures that fire

compartment walls are continued

above the ceiling and into the

roof void.

Fitzpatrick Insulation & Passive

Fire Protection install and

maintain both lightweight

flexible fire curtains and insulated

fire barrier providing up to 120

minutes fire & smoke protection

in both occupied and unoccupied

properties.

Fire Compartmentation

Fire compartmentation is an

important element of ‘passive

fire protection’ and is achieved

by dividing the premises into

‘fire compartments’ through the

use of fire doors, floors and

walls of fire-resisting

construction, cavity barriers

within roof voids and fire

stopping to services that

penetrate through these

dividing elements.

Fitzpatrick Insulation & Passive

Fire Protection can separate

your building structure into

discrete fire zones which will:

• Prevent the spread of fire,

smoke and toxic gases

• Subdivide buildings into

manageable areas of risk

• Provide adequate means of

escape enabling time for the

occupants to safely

evacuate the premises.

Passive Fire Protection Measures

One of the main causes

of fire spread within a

building is a result of fire

and smoke travelling

through unsealed voids

in floors, walls, ceilings

and roofs.
