In this short video, Craig Wells talks about firestopping electrical containment such as cables, ladders, baskets, bunches, etc. We now have test data utilising our QuelStop Fire Batt and QuelStop HPE Sealant. To learn more, go to our standard firestopping...
When faced with a plastic pipe penetrating the wall with an immediate bend, you may have moved the pipe, carried out some modifications, or perhaps installed an untested application. Not anymore! At...
In construction, we are seeing more emphasis on the energy efficiency of buildings; we’re seeing more insulation requirements for pipes, particularly copper pipes with thicker insulation to prevent heat loss. Therefore,...
As Adrian Wells explains, we have developed and fire tested a solution for firestopping plastic shower traps using QuelStop HPE Sealant and QuelStop Fire Batt. To learn more, go to our standard firestopping installation detail download page or contact us.
