Why Firestopping in Buildings Matters

Understanding fire protection attributes can help save lives

The causes of fire outbreaks are varied, unpredictable and often outside the control of the building designer. This puts lives and assets at risk. It is a serious threat to any building, be it residential, office buildings, industrial facilities, hospitals, and infrastructure. Therefore, protection against fire hazards should be become an integral part of building planning, construction, and maintenance. 

Hilti with the commitment of making construction better is inviting readers to further explore firestop as passive fire protection systems to protect buildings as well as human lives from the dangers of fire and smoke through "Firestopping in Buildings" book. For  Indonesian readers, the book has been localized with a title of "Firestopping Pada Bangunan".

Passive fire protection through building compartmentation

Effective fire compartmentation means sealing penetrations in floors and walls using suitable passive firestop devices. These devices, ranging from modular elements to putties and foams, help create a smoke-, flame- and water-resistant barrier which can assist in preventing a fire from spreading beyond the room where it starts. In this video, our expert will help you to understand the consequences and liability related to inadequate passive fire protection.
