CLOSING THE GAP
PENETRATION SEALS
Penetration seals are essential for maintaining the fire integrity of a building. They are designed to close gaps and seal penetrations through fire-rated walls, floors, and ceilings. Without proper sealing, fire and smoke can quickly spread through these openings, compromising the safety of your building and its occupants.
What Are Penetration Seals?
Penetration seals fill gaps and spaces where pipes, cables, ducts, or other services pass through fire-resistant structures. They are made from fire-resistant materials that expand when heated, preventing fire and smoke from spreading through these penetrations.
For example, intumescent mastic seals expand as temperatures rise, providing a protective barrier that resists flames, smoke, and heat.
Why Are Penetration Seals Important?
Any unsealed penetration in a fire-rated wall, floor, or ceiling makes the fire protection system redundant. Penetration seals help close these gaps, ensuring that fire and smoke cannot easily move between compartments, and buy valuable time for occupants to evacuate.
