Three steps to a compartmented building
The Fire Protection Association
The UK's national fire safety organisation
Mike Floyd discusses the importance of sealing, fire doors, and fire stopping.
Many observers agree that the installation quality of passive fire safety between 2000 and 2017 had reached a fairly low point in both new construction work and repairs.
Sadly, this contributed to the poor fire performance of several buildings in the UK and many more worldwide.
This need not have been the case, as following three steps is all that has to be done to provide appropriate passive fire protection:
?Passive fire safety is therefore not difficult in principle.
Structural designers and engineers give us a robust building frame and shell through the requirements in Part A of the Building Regulations.
In many cases, that shell is largely composed of non-combustible materials, but that is slowly changing, as more and more timber frame or modular construction timber buildings arise.
As part of the Fire Protection Association's continuing commitment to increase fire safety awareness across the built environment, a number of informative feature articles are available to read on our website.?You can read the full article here.
