Firestopping for new construction involves installing materials that prevent fires from spreading. Proper Firestopping for New Construction in Action Firestopping prevents fires from spreading to other areas of the building by containing them within one room. Products made of inferior elements will melt at lower temperatures than UL-approved products. The list of UL-approved products and materials extends beyond the list above.
We are constantly reiterating the importance of fire and smoke damper inspections and repairs in healthcare and long term living facilities, but it’s critical to also stress its equal significance for non-healthcare facilities as well. Fire and smoke dampers are designed and installed in the building’s ductwork to help contain both fire and smoke to its original origin. Once smoke has been detected, the smoke detector sends a signal to the dampers actuator, which uses the jackshaft and linkage to open and close the blades of the smoke damper. These particular dampers are used in areas of the ductwork where both fire and smoke barriers are located to prevent the spread of both fire and smoke.
Passive fire protection, which includes systems like a fire barrier sealant around doors or fire barrier panels on walls, requires upgrading every few years. As certain building elements change for a business, you may need to change the barrier penetration management. When you keep fire barrier management and code-compliance in the forefront of plans when updating a facility, this helps ensure structures are built to better accommodate safety regulations. We hope you found this article helpful on how to help ensure you have a good approach to fire barrier management and meet code-compliance.
