Fire Barrier Installation Services
Fire cavity barriers are specially designed blocks of fire-resistant material used to close a cavity to prevent fire from spreading and protect your property and occupants. This fire protection component is essential to inhibit smoke and flames spreading through walls and ceilings. When exposed to heat, fire cavity barriers begin to expand and seal voids between rooms.
Fire cavity barriers are not only installed as a life-saving measure, they are also a compulsory and legal fire protection component for every building in the UK. Older buildings that may not meet standards should be reviewed as part of a fire risk survey to ensure the correct fire barriers are installed to adhere to fire safety regulations.
Here at GRJ Contracting, our fire barrier installation solutions slow the rapid spread of fire and smoke through walls and ceilings, allowing more time for you to get to safety and for firefighters to tackle the blaze. From installations to inspections and repairs, you can rely on us to strengthen your fire resistance and ensure a safe environment.
