Fire Barrier Systems (Cavity & Void Protection)

Fire barrier systems are critical in preventing the unseen spread of smoke and flame through ceiling voids, service zones and concealed cavities.

Installed correctly, barriers maintain compartment lines where walls and floors stop.

Where Fire Barriers Are Used

Common applications on live construction projects:

  • ✔ Ceiling void fire barriers
  • ✔ Above partition head barriers
  • ✔ Service corridor protection
  • ✔ Roof void compartmentation
  • ✔ Structural movement zones
  • ✔ Cavity barrier upgrades & remediation
