Penetration sealing systems are vital in maintaining compartmentation and preventing fire and smoke, effective penetration sealing is crucial to the overall performance of the fire protection system and prevents the passage of smoke and fire through gaps around services in walls, floors and partitions whilst further enhancing acoustic performance and air sealing. Gaps are usually found at service penetrations through walls and floors, gaps left for any structural movement or due to substandard workmanship. Fire integrity is lost when the building contains holes, cracks or openings that would allow flames or hot gases to pass through. Such occurrences make the whole fire protection system ineffective unless rectified.

When designing a fire protection system it is critical to note that different types of plastic pipe will react differently under fire conditions therefore no one single system or product can protect all services. System Building Services analyses the particular requirements of the project and the material used for piping to deliver penetration sealing systems that ensure full fire integrity whilst being cost effective and complying with the latest regulations and legislation. We welcome all projects and can assist clients in designing the package, selecting products and full installation.
