All buildings should be designed with fire safety in mind to minimise the impact of fires. Planners and architects need to be aware of how to divide a building into fire compartments so that a fire is confined to the area where it started and does not spread throughout the building.
The importance of intact compartmentalisation cannot be overestimated, especially when supply lines pass through fire-resistant walls, floors or ceilings. This is to prevent openings with multiple supply lines through walls and floors, empty supply openings through walls and floors or flammable pipes (plastics) from becoming a fire hazard.
In addition, cavity penetration seals, construction joints and any other inadequate adaptation to a fire-resistant component must be taken into account to ensure the safety of the building.
Types of fire barriers
Conventional fire penetration sealing systems include boards, mortar, foam penetration seals, joint sealants, sleeves, wrappings/bandages and cable duct insulation.
To ensure safety, it is essential that penetration sealing and fire protection systems are specified and installed in accordance with the manufacturer's testing, assessment and certification requirements for the particular application. Sealants should be used as a tested system. In addition, all fire protection seals should be installed by a competent and certified contractor in accordance with the manufacturer's application instructions and product data sheets.
