Fire Barriers

Essential Protection For Your Building

Fire safety is a critical aspect of any building’s design, and Fire Compartment Barriers play a vital role in ensuring protection against the spread of fire and smoke. These barriers are an integral component of Passive Fire Protection (PFP), designed to contain fire within specific sections of a building, giving occupants time to evacuate safely and minimising damage to property.

What Are Fire Compartment Barriers?

Fire compartment barriers are fire-rated walls, floors, and ceilings that divide a building into sections or compartments. By containing the fire within a designated area, these barriers prevent it from spreading rapidly, limiting the impact on other parts of the structure. Key features of fire compartment barriers include:

Fire-resistant materials – Constructed from materials such as fire-rated plasterboard, concrete, and steel to withstand high temperatures.
Sealed penetrations – Openings for pipes, cables, and ducts are sealed with firestopping materials to prevent smoke and flames from passing through.
Structural integrity – Designed to maintain stability during a fire, helping to prevent building collapse

Why Are Fire Compartment Barriers Important?

Implementing fire compartment barriers is essential for several reasons:
Limits fire spread – By containing fire in one area, it prevents flames from rapidly consuming an entire building.

Protects escape routes – Ensures that stairwells, corridors, and emergency exits remain safe for evacuation.
Reduces property damage – Minimises structural damage and loss of assets by confining fire to a controlled area.
Ensures compliance – Meets Australian fire safety regulations and building codes.
