Joint Firestop

Joint firestop systems are a crucial component of any property’s fire rated protection plan. They effectively prevent fires, gasses, and smoke from spreading through wall assemblies and/or spreading through spaces between or inside fire resistant floors.

What is Joint Firestop?

Joint firestop systems are carefully designed to provide protection from fire, smoke, and harmful gasses by preventing them from moving through the gaps created when floor assemblies and wall assemblies are joined. During the installation of plumbing, mechanical, and electrical items, it is common for breaches to be created, which fire could easily travel through. By installing the appropriate joint firestopping products, you can restore the fire-stopping assemblies’ hourly ratings that were breached during installation.
