Protect your building with Passive Fire Protection NSW

A fire in the building is devastating. The sufferings and the loss, even though insurance is there, cannot be underestimated. The memories are painful. However, as the old saying goes, ‘prevention is better than cure’, there is Passive fire protection system that saves the situation from such a kind of disaster. Passive Fire Protection NSW is the installation of products that are fire retardant. It can be installed during the structural stage itself. This measurement minimizes the spreading of the fire by limiting its power.

Active fire protection attempts to extinguish the fire while passive fire protection prevents, slows down and restricts the spread to limited area by installing fire resistant products.

Four basic things of Passive Fire Protection NSW:

*    Structural fire protection by Passive Fire Protection NSW is designed and applied at the construction level. It protects the most important structural materials like steel and joints from fire damage. Materials used for this purpose are fire-proofing materials like spray on thin film Intumescent, endothermic materials, cementations products, fireproofing cladding, insulation and mineral wool wraps.

*    Compartmentation technique is used with the help of installing fire partitions, firewalls, fire and smoke barriers to minimize the spread of fire. They limit the spread and give ample time for the inmates to escape in a planned manner. Firewalls are strong enough and stable that even walls on either side of the building collapse, they will remain standing.

*    Opening protection refers the fire windows and doors in a fire barrier.

*    Fire stopping materials is the last step followed in Passive Fire Protection NSW.
