Reduce the Risk of Fire Damage to Your Building with Passive Fire Protection
from FireCare & Security
What is Passive Fire Protection?
Passive fire protection (PFP) is an essential element of building construction that ensures the stability and integrity of a building in the event of a fire. PFP provides various systems to effectively reduce fire damage by limiting the passage of flames and smoke and reinforcing structural elements so they can withstand fire for extended periods of time.
Unlike active fire protection (AFP) which is designed to detect and suppress fires, passive fire protection systems are designed to restrict the spread of fire throughout a building and reduce structural damage, allowing safer entry for emergency services and exit routes for occupants within the building.

FireCare & Security Work with Commercial Customers Throughout Hampshire, Supplying and Installing Passive Fire Protection Services Including:
Passive Fire Protection Risk Assessments
Passive fire protection risk assessments or passive fire protection surveys are there to ensure your building complies with current fire safety legislation. Our team of fire risk assessors will advise and install the correct passive fire protection your building requires to meet current fire safety laws and help ensure the safety of employees, residents, and customers.
Fire Door Inspections & Installations
Fire doors are a legal requirement for businesses, shared residential buildings and homes of multiple occupancy (HMOs). Ensuring you have compliant, well maintained fire doors for your building will prevent the spread of fire, allow a means of escape, and keep you compliant with fire safety laws.
Fire Barrier Installation
Fire Barrier Systems are essential to prevent the rapid spread of fire in concealed spaces within a building. FireCare supplies and installs fire barrier protection solutions which effectively prevent the spread of fire and smoke within unseen roof and ceiling voids.
Fire Compartmentation
Fire compartmentation is a form of passive fire protection that involves the sub-division of a building into smaller sections. This subdividing of the building is used to withstand and limit the spread of smoke and fire and allowing escape routes to remain clear and accessible.
Air Sealing Services
Air leakage in any passive form of protection system can compromise its effectiveness in controlling the spread of smoke and fire throughout a building. Air sealing eliminates any air leaks, securing the structural durability of your building in the event of a fire.
Intumescent Coating
Intumescent coating is a coating that, when exposed to heat, is rapidly transformed through sublimation, and expands many times its original thickness. The purpose of intumescent coating is to prevent the structural collapse of a building during a fire.
