All buildings, whether they are existing, new builds, residential, or non-residential, are required by law to have effective firestopping installed. A head-of-wall joint is a linear gap between the top or ‘head’...
Pipes and services require insulation to limit heat transfer and provide a vapour barrier against moisture which, ultimately, improves the thermal efficiency of the building. Examples would include chilled water,...
Fire-rated metal ducts and dampers are tested to a different fire-resistance test standard than other service penetrations (which are tested to BSEN1366-3) and should therefore be: in a separate opening,...
The dimensions given for firestop seal solutions are based on the outside diameter (OD) of pipes as they are installed around the outside of the pipe and need to suit...
A fire collar (QWR & QWX) is a recognised product for plastic pipes. However, as the range of plastic types, sizes and applications increase in the construction industry, most manufacturers of passive...
Whilst it is logical to consider a hollow core concrete slab as similar to a traditional reinforced concrete floor, manufacturers of hollow core slabs have very strict requirements around the...

As a result of continuous investment in fire resistance testing to BS EN1366-3, we have an extended scope of application for the QuelStop Fire Batt. This allows our QuelStop Fire Batt...
Copper pipe test evidence is versatile. It covers all metal pipe materials with a thermal conductivity equal to or lower than copper and a melting point equal to or exceeding...
The simple answer is yes; provided the wall construction meets the tested scope of application, our tested firestopping details can be used across different manufacturers’ wall systems, including Siniat, Knauf,...
As per the BS EN 1366-3:2021 fire-resistance test standard for service penetrations, Section 13.3.2.4 states: Section 13.3.2.4 Test results obtained with double-sided standard flexible wall construction may be applied to...
