Fire Stoppage
At Cura Property Services Ltd our specialists are fully trained and certified to design, spec and install various fire stoppage services. Fire stopping, Also known as compartmentation, is a fundamental part of passive fireproofing. It refers to the process of filling openings and joints between walls and floors with fire-resistant material, inhibiting the spread of fire between ‘compartments’ within a building.

Our fire stoppage services
Fire stopping is an essential component of a building’s safety, it’s required to help prevent the spread of fire through the different compartments of a building. Without having fire stops correctly installed, smoke and flames can quickly travel through a building, damaging the property and risking the lives of its occupants. Fire stops also help emergency services to suppress the fire before it spreads beyond control.

Load-bearing compound fire seals
Load-bearing compound fire seals
A load-bearing compound fire seal is an important component in the design and construction of fire-rated walls and other structures. It is a specialised type of sealant that provides an effective barrier against the spread of flames, smoke, and hot gases. It is designed to maintain the integrity of the rated fire-separation between two different areas by preventing the passage of hot gases, smoke, and fire.
They are typically made from a mix of various materials such as cement, sand, and aggregate. The mix is then compounded with a fire-retardant material and cured to create a solid, rigid material that is strong enough to provide an effective barrier against the passage of heat, smoke, and fire.
Load-bearing compound fire seals are designed to be used in conjunction with other components such as fire-rated doors, windows, and frames. The fire seal and other components are designed to work together to provide a complete fire-resistant system that is resistant to the spread of flames, smoke, and hot gases.
Batt & Mastic seals
Batt & Mastic seals
Batt and Mastic seals are important components of any fire safety system. These seals help to maintain fire safety by forming a barrier between combustible materials and potential sources of ignition. This prevents the spread of fire from one area to another, thus limiting the damage caused by a blaze.
Batt and Mastic Seals are often used in conjunction with other fire safety measures, such as fire-resistant walls, doors, and windows. The seals are designed to create a solid barrier between two combustible materials and any potential ignition sources. This helps to prevent the spread of fire and reduce the likelihood of a major blaze.
Mastic seals are made up of a fire-resistant adhesive material, which is applied directly to the combustible surface. This forms a tough and durable seal that is resistant to heat and flames. The seal is designed to expand when exposed to high temperatures, forming a tight seal that prevents smoke and fire from spreading.
Batt seals, on the other hand, are made up of fire-resistant material that is laid between two combustible surfaces. These seals are designed to resist the spread of heat and flames, helping to limit the spread of fire.
Graphite barriers
Graphite barriers
Graphite fireproof barriers are a type of fire safety measure that can help to protect against the spread of fire and smoke in a building. They are made of a fire-resistant material, usually graphite-based, and are designed to provide a physical barrier between walls and other combustible materials in the event of a fire.
Graphites expand when they are subjected to heat to close openings around penetrations when combustible or materials with low melting temperatures burn away. In the event of a fire the material crushes the pipe or trunking, sealing off this area and maintaining the integrity, which comes in handy in multiple service penetration and cable bunches.
They are much more effective at containing the spread of fire and smoke than traditional materials such as drywall and wood. They can also provide additional protection by reflecting heat away from combustible materials, thus reducing the risk of fire spreading.
Fire stopping pipe wrap
Fire-stopping pipe wrap
Pipe wrap is designed to be placed around pipes and other objects to create a protective barrier between them and the fire. This barrier helps to slow down the spread of the fire and smoke, giving people more time to evacuate the area before the fire can become too large and dangerous. This can help prevent serious injuries and even death from occurring.
Fire-stopping pipe wrap is typically made from fire-resistant materials such as fiberglass or other heat-resistant fabrics. It is also designed to expand when exposed to heat, creating a seal that helps contain the fire and keep it away from other areas. This seal is often used in combination with fire doors, fire curtains, and other fire safety measures to create a comprehensive system that helps to protect people and property.
Fire-stopping pipe wrap is an important component of any fire safety plan and should be installed correctly and regularly maintained to ensure it is functioning correctly. If the wrap begins to show signs of wear and tear, it should be replaced immediately to ensure it is still providing the necessary protection.
Linear joint seal
Linear joint seals
These seals are designed to limit the spread of fire and smoke, helping to protect the occupants of a building and the structure itself. Linear joint seals typically consist of a fire-resistant flexible material, such as intumescent foam, that is installed between two surfaces in order to create a physical barrier. This barrier helps to prevent the spread of fire and smoke by limiting the amount of oxygen that can pass through the gap.
Linear joint seals also help to reduce the risk of a fire spreading through the building by minimising the amount of combustible material present in the gap between two walls or floors. This is especially important in multi-storey buildings, where there may be multiple floors and walls separating different sections of the building. By using linear joint seals, the risk of a fire spreading from one room to another is significantly reduced.
In order to ensure that linear joint seals are effective, they must be correctly installed and maintained. The material used in the seal should be of a high-quality and be resistant to fire and smoke. The seals should also be inspected regularly for any signs of damage or wear, and any repairs should be carried out as soon as possible.
