This is a statement that most people would agree with – especially those who have been unfortunate enough to experience the devastating effects of fire. We can’t completely prevent fires from starting – but what we can do provide innovative To ensure the fire safety of buildings and for Passive Fire Protection to be effective systems that will prevent the spread of fire until it is extinguished or it stops due to lack of it requires: oxygen or fuel. • Correct fire safety design & risk assessment How is this achieved? It is accomplished with Passive Fire Protection (PFP). • High performance certified products • Trained installers Buildings are designed to have ‘sterile’ areas that will contain a fire. These sterile areas are known as ‘fire compartments’. Occupants of buildings in areas away from the fire source are therefore protected from flames, smoke and toxic gases by these compartments. An important and vital component within a building are the escape routes. These are constructed as separate fire compartments to keep them free of smoke and heat and as a result provide for the safe evacuation of the building. Passive Fire Protection products are used in these escape routes to maintain their integrity in the event of a fire. 1 THE DEVASTATING EFFECTS OF FIRE Why Protecta®?
