Fire Barriers

Fire Barriers Systems are essential to prevent the rapid spread of fire in concealed spaces within a building where no wall or divide exists.  Our qualified technicians install the Fire Barrier, resulting in a fire-resistant compartment.

Gunfire installs and maintains lightweight, flexible fire barriers or insulating fire barrier curtains to provide up to 120 minutes of fire resistance and 60 minutes of insulation within occupied and unoccupied facilities. They can be installed in lofts, ceiling voids and risers, ensuring no fire or smoke can spread from one compartment to the next.

Surveys are carried out in roof voids to ascertain what is required and ensure the building is compliant with building regulations. The fire compartment walls are continued above the ceiling to the underside of the roof covering. Following the survey, we provide a fully itemised quotation of remediation required to rectify the breaches found. Fire-resistant access hatches, walkways and handrails for the roof space can also be provided on request.

BS9991 is the British Standard detailing guidance and recommendations regarding fire safety in designing, managing, and using residential buildings to achieve reasonable fire safety standards for people in and around them and firefighters.

All fire barriers installed by Gunfire are thoroughly tested, certified and comply with the relevant BS or EN standards.
