Our Fire Protection Systems At Fire Immunity
Passive fire protection systems slow down the spread of smoke and flames whilst reducing the risk of injury, increase the time for evacuation, and save the lives of people within your building. Whether you are looking to improve the fire safety of your commercial building or healthcare facilities, we have experience working with a range of industries.
At Fire Immunity, we offer a huge range of passive measures to maximise your property’s fire safety and give you peace of mind. We offer: compartmentation surveys, structural steel protection, penetration sealing, compounding, fire barriers, acoustic sealing, fire-rated partitions, and fire risk assessments.
Fire compartmentation is a legal requirement in the UK under the Building Regulations and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Compartmentation surveys are conducted by passive fire protection professionals who inspect how fire-safe your property is. This is done by identifying the current passive fire protection systems that are in place on your property and evaluating their effectiveness and if they meet fire safety legalisations.
You can trust Fire Immuntiy to conduct an effective compartmentation survey at your property. Our expert team consists of professionals who assess and evaluate the effectiveness of your compartmentation systems.
There are several effective passive fire protection methods when it comes to protecting your steel building from a fire. At Fire Immunity, we offer two effective passive fire protection services for your steel-framed building: Intumescent Paints and Intumescent Sprays.
- Intumescent Paints – When intumescent paint is exposed to extreme heat/fire, it will turn into a fire-protective coating, creating a carbon foam that can grow up to 50x. This provides an insulation to the load-bearing structure. This intumescent coating allows you to sustain the aesthetic and design of your building whilst maximising your fire safety.
- Intumescent Sprays – The fire-protective intumescent spray comes in a powder form. To create a sprayable material, we add the correct amount of water and then use specialised spraying equipment to spray the steel. Intumescent sprays are best suited for places like warehouses that don’t need to rely on their aesthetics as much.
The main purpose of penetration seals involves sealing any exposed cables, ducts, or pipes that penetrate walls, floors, or ceilings. Penetration sealing reduces the spread of flames and smoke.
Improve the fire safety of your building with our penetration sealing services. Our team at Fire Immunity are experts at identifying potential fire hazards within your property and installing the required penetration sealing.
Fire compounding is a fire-stopping material substitute that can give you an extra 6 hours of protection from the flames until the emergency services arrive. Fire-compounding material is manufactured from non-combustible compounds such as high-quality gypsum cement and graded, lightweight fire-resisting aggregates.
Fire Immunity is one of the leading passive fire systems in Bristol and the South West area. Whether you require the Rockwool Firestop Compound or need a current compound replacement, we offer both installation and replacement services.
Fire barriers use fire-resistant materials to slow the passage of smoke, flames, and toxic gasses from spreading in your building. Fire barriers limit damage to buildings, maximise the safety of people through safe evacuation, making it an adequate fire protection system.,
At Fire Immunity, we inspect your building to see if your current fire prevention tools are adequate and meet industry standards. If they do not meet the required standards, we can quote you on the work that needs to be done.
Acoustic sealing is an efficient passive fire protection strategy when it comes to blocking sound but also minimising the spread of fire for up to 4 hours, enhancing the period of time for a safer evacuation. Applying acoustic sealing helps prevent the smoke from passing to other areas of your property by sealing exposed gaps.
We have installed fire barriers and acoustic sealing to properties of all sizes here at Fire Immunity. You can trust us to deliver exceptional service from when we evaluate your premises to the installation of the acoustic sealing.
Fire-rated partitions prevent the fire from spreading within a commercial building for up to 200 minutes.
