Firestop for large openings
All you need to know to master the smoke- and fire-sealing of large openings
WHAT FIRESTOP PRODUCTS SHOULD I USE?
If you expect to upgrade or expand your M&E installations very frequently, preformed solutions – like firestop blocks – are ideal for easily sealing large openings. This non-curing and re-usable solution is designed for high-productivity installation by a single person with no special tools. CFS-BL firestop blocks have been designed specifically to simplify re-penetration of retrofitted cables. They can be dismounted, cut and re-installed easily. Firestop blocks also minimize airborne dust and fibers when compared to more traditional solutions like firestop coated boards and mortars.
Our preformed, surface-mounted solution – the CFS-BL firestop block – has been designed for firestopping mixed openings. Its modular design means that you can combine up to three elements together for the firestopping of opening sizes up to 1000mm x 1000mm. This easy-to-install and inspect, virtually dust-free solution allows for a 60% cable fill on regular and irregular openings. It also allows you to seal old, damaged or incorrectly sealed penetrations – even without removing the existing firestop material in the opening.
