Firestopping is designed to seal off one room from the next so flames, smoke and poisonous gases cannot travel from room to room. Because toxic gases are the most common cause of death during a fire, stopping their spread is the primary goal of firestopping systems and materials.
Fireproofing is a coating that is applied to structural elements like beams and columns to help them retain their strength for a longer amount of time during a fire. This gives the building’s occupants more time to evacuate safely. We offer both firestopping and fireproofing services to our commercial clients throughout the country.
