Firestop for large openings

Efficiently firestop large areas with or without penetrating items

Take a walk through the plant room of any modern building and you’ll see a maze of layered M&E services which would have been unimaginable a few years ago. This endless array of cables, bundles, trays, conduits, plastic and metal pipes need larger wall and floor penetrations than ever – which presents new challenges for fire compartmentation. You can rely on Hilti Firestop to deliver workable smoke- and fire-resistant sealants around these larger penetrations.

To deliver the adaptability you need in larger openings, we offer traditional firestop sealants, composite board, and various preformed solutions like fire blocks and plugs. They are all designed to be easy to specify, install, and inspect.
