Why fire containment matters

Passive fire protection through building compartmentation

Effective fire compartmentation means sealing penetrations and joints in floors and walls using proper firestopping assemblies. These assemblies are a combination of fire-rated materials and firestopping devices. These devices, ranging from modular elements to putties and foams, help create a smoke-, flame- and water-resistant barrier which can assist in preventing a fire from spreading beyond the room where it starts.

Premium support for all building designers

Including fire protection early in the building design process is key to helping ensure proper installation – saving time and simplifying coordination. This is a complex task, even for experienced professionals. At Hilti, we offer technical support, approval documentation, design software and special trainings to simplify your work.
