Fire stopping products are used to close up the gaps or improve the “weak spots” where heat, gas and open flames can pass through to other aspects of the building. They’re designed to prevent the spread of hot gases, toxic smoke, and open fires around the building, and other buildings close by. The fire is contained by creating fire resistant compartments throughout the building, either horizontally or vertically, which subdivide the building.

With new buildings, construction companies invest heavily in piping, HVAC ducts, and other fixings which pass through compartment aspects of the property. This creates “weak spots” in the building where gases, smoke and flames can spread when not properly handled, or protected.

The materials used in fire cavity barriers react to high temperatures and will expand when exposed to open flames In the event of fire, cavity barriers will expand and seal the void to slow the burn and extend time, offering invaluable and life-saving solutions

Our fire stopping solutions comply with industry standards and local building codes and the focus is on sealing gaps, joints, and openings in walls, floors, and ceilings, effectively compartmentalizing spaces and limiting the potential for fire to escalate. In addition, this can help restrict both vertical and lateral fire spread.

Intumescent coatings are applied to steel work and activated by heat. The coating expands and protects steel framing from fire and heat for up to two hours resistance.

MTM apply Intumescent paint in buildings to ensure that they are capable of withstanding high temperatures and to also ensure that buildings are structurally safe.

This is a vital step  to consider when taking fire protection measures. If you do not use Intumescent Coatings, your structure could collapse, as steel softens in high temperatures. Where Intumescent Coatings are applied this can be prevented.

Application of intumescent coatings for steel structures in construction projects - with our in-depth technical knowledge, we can swiftly and effectively reinforce structural elements and surfaces, without compromising on their basic functionalities or aesthetic finishes.

This offers the building a protection, allowing for extra time to allow the building to be evacuated, alongside allowing the fire services additional time to survey the conditions for temperature and humidity.
