Information
What is fire stopping?
Fire stopping is best defined as the closing of any openings to prevent fire (including smoke and heat) from passing through numerous building compartments. Passive fire protection materials stop the spread of a fire, containing it by creating fire resisting compartments, which subdivide the building (vertically or horizontally).
It is our job to ensure that any openings and gaps are sealed to restrict a fire spreading both laterally and vertically.

Our products
Fire stopping products
Fire stopping
Fire resistant compartments are made through various components to subdivide buildings both vertically & horizontally.
The most common fire stopping product used is a batt & mastic solution. The batt will be cut to fit the aperture as tightly as possible, once pushed into the void Intumescent sealant is then applied to the perimeter.
Acoustic sealing
Acoustic sealing is the application of acoustic rated products, such as sealant, caulk and fire foam, to reduce noise transmission through a building.
These are applied to walls, gaps & cracks that could allow noise to enter or escape.
There are unlimited variations when dealing with fire stopping & acoustic sealing, this is where TECL can assist!
