| Why is fire containment important? |
- Nearly 70% of all building-related deaths are directly associated to
smoke inhalation.
- Thoroughly and properly installed firestop systems stop the spread of
smoke and toxic fumes.
- Fire rated assemblies provide safe escape routes and more time to
evacuate.
If you are a builder, ask yourself:
- Do I have a complete set of UL tested documentation to prove that all of my fire
rated assemblies have the proper fire ratings?
- Am I positive that all of the systems installed in the building are consistent with the
documentation?
- Are my subcontractors committed to providing the highest levels of quality for
the safety of my buildings?
If you are not 100% sure that the answer is "yes" to all three of these
questions, you need a professional firestop contractor.
