Fire Rated Sleeves
Fire Rated Sleeves are designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke through plastic pipes which penetrate fire compartment walls and floors by filling the void created when the heat softens and melts the plastic pipe.
Using the same principal of intumescent material they differ from Fire Collars mainly by the method of installation. Use our expertise to choose the right product for your requirements.
Fire resisting compartments work to prevent fire and smoke spreading within a building. But most hidden cavities are, by nature, interlinked. Most of the gaps are used for services, many through walls and floors. Some are left to allow the structure to flex a little, but others are simply down to poor construction.
Because every service passing through fire resistant building elements react in different ways to fire, there’s no one-stop single solution – it depends entirely on the building in question. Which is why you need professional support from fire penetration installation experts.
