Passive fire protection (PFP) encompasses a range of measures designed to enhance a building's resistance to fire. Unlike active fire protection systems that need manual or automatic activation, PFP features are built into the structure and require no action to function during a fire.

The core aim is to contain fires or slow their spread, providing occupants crucial time to evacuate and ensuring structural integrity is maintained.

Here at Pro Passive Fire Protection, we have a team of highly-experienced passive fire protection specialists who can offer comprehensive solutions tailored to your building's unique requirements.

We understand that every building is different, which is why we employ a holistic approach when developing PFP strategies. Our team considers factors such as building size, occupancy levels, materials used, and potential fire hazards to create solutions that are both effective and minimally invasive.

Services

Our certified and experienced team offers a complete range of solutions tailored to your specific needs, making us the one-stop shop for all your fire safety essentials.

Fire-resistant barriers

We install fire-rated walls, doors, and partitions that help contain fires within specified areas, minimising the spread to other parts of the building. These barriers are essential in high-risk areas and can be custom-designed to integrate seamlessly with existing architecture.

Intumescent coatings

Our intumescent paint services provide a protective layer to steel structures. In the event of a fire, these coatings expand to insulate the material underneath, preventing critical structural collapse.

Compartmentation surveys

Our experts conduct thorough surveys to identify any vulnerabilities in your building's compartmentation a crucial aspect of PFP. We ensure any gaps are effectively closed to prevent smoke & fire from passing through sealed areas.

Firestop systems

We apply firestopping solutions to seal any penetrations or gaps in walls, floors, or ceilings, which could otherwise allow fire to spread. These systems are vital in maintaining the integrity of compartments in buildings of any size.

Fire-rated glazing

We provide and install fire-rated glass solutions that combine safety with transparency, allowing natural light yet maintaining fire resistance. This is particularly useful in modern buildings where natural light is a crucial design element.
