Passive Fire Protection

Passive fire protection is an essential element of a building’s fire safety strategy – always at work, but often unseen. Part of the building fabric, it provides protection to structural elements, helps limit the spread of fire and smoke through cavities and hidden voids, and assists in maintaining compartmentation where building services pass through compartment elements. 

To help you make the most of our passive fire protection and fire-stopping solutions, we’ve prepared a suite of resources that make specification and installation easier. Use this page to find what you need faster and work towards safer building outcomes.
