Conventional wall and floor penetration sealing is a first line of defence. This service increases the ability of these structures to resist the progress of fire and prevent it from spreading from one compartment to another.
Penetration sealing works by using materials and strategies that meet fire rating regulations. Fire-stopping procedures keep occupants safer during a fire while also preventing smoke and toxic gases from reaching their lungs. This strategy is cost-effective and something we recommend to almost everyone.
Compounding is another Southwest fire protection strategy that reduces the speed at which fire can spread. This technique involves using Rockwool Firestop Compound, which provides up to an extra 6 hours of protection from the flames and heat associated with fire, preventing it from spreading in most cases before the fire brigade arrives.
Compound works by ensuring the integrity of a structure’s compartmentalisation. Fire Immunity installs it to the manufacturer’s specifications and can replace existing wall compounds if you have any. Compounds are also load-bearing, so it is also useful in structural components and walking surfaces. Talk to our team about possible applications on your property or premises.
Fire barriers are a comprehensive fire suppression technique; fire protection that South West businesses love. These installations restrict the movement of fire and starve it of fuel.
Fires are not always 100% avoidable. Some occur through no fault. However, when they do, having fire protection barriers in place ahead of time is helpful. These close concealed spaces by preventing air flow from being drawn through cavity walls. Sealing these reduces the oxygen the fire can access to sustain itself, thus preventing the spread of active fire from one part of the building to another. Flames, gas and smoke from the fire cannot travel as easily once these are in place.
Passive fire protection refers to a group of technologies that reduce the speed fire spreads, aiming to contain it. These solutions can sometimes stop and compartmentalise fire until the fire brigade arrives, or prevent it from spreading faster through a building, increasing the salvageable proportion.
Fire protection works on multiple fronts to minimise the impact of a spreading fire. For example, it reduces oxygen supply to the fire, preventing it from burning as fiercely. It can also act as a physical barrier and reduce the transmission of toxic smoke and gases into other parts of the building.

Fire Immunity uses rock wool for passive fire protection because it is naturally non-combustible and well-known to withstand high burning temperatures in a house fire. It is the standard option when trying to contain a fire in a specific area and prevent it from spreading to another.
Passive fire protection can contain a fire for up to six hours using Fire Immunity’s methods, and depending on the materials used. Our systems aim to prevent the spread of flames alongside toxic gases and smoke emissions from fires in progress.
