Firestop helps to protect buildings and save lives – it’s also a legal requirement. But designing for passive fire protection can get complex – with multiple ways to block the spread of fire, smoke and toxic gases through penetrations caused by pipes, cables or ducts. Hilti Firestop solutions are designed to provide the best in class passive fire protection systems, premium software and support to help save lives and buildings from fire. Passive fire protection systems are designed to stop the spread of flames, smoke and toxic gases in a fire. They block gaps in walls, ceilings and floors caused by penetrations from pipes, cables and joints in fire-rated areas. So it’s important to include passive fire protection – firestop systems – in any building design, right from the start of a project.
